Formula

G.f. V(x) = 1 + x + 2x + 5x^2 + ... satisfies V(x) = (1-x)exp[sum_{m >=1} (2x^m-x^(2m))V(x^m)/m] (see Razanajatovo Misanantenaina/Wagner).

Mathematica

V=1; Do[V = Normal[Series[(1 - x) Exp[Sum[(2 x^m - x^(2 m)) (V /. x -> x^m)/m, {m, 1, n}]], {x, 0, n}]], {n, 1, 20}]; Table[Coefficient[V, x, n], {n, 1, 20}]
