EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + 2*x + 8*x^2 + 40*x^3 + 224*x^4 + 1368*x^5 + 8992*x^6 + 62792*x^7 + 459808*x^8 + 3493848*x^9 + 27354144*x^10 + ...
where the following series illustrate the definition.
B(x) = 1 + x + x^2*A(x) + x^3*A(x)^3 + x^4*A(x)^6 + x^5*A(x)^10 + x^6*A(x)^15 + x^7*A(x)^21 + x^8*A(x)^28 + ... + x^n*A(x)^(n*(n-1)/2) + ...
2 - B(x) = 1 - x*A(x) + x^2*A(x)^3 - x^3*A(x)^6 + x^4*A(x)^10 - x^5*A(x)^15 + x^6*A(x)^21 - x^7*A(x)^28 +- ... + (-x)^n*A(x)^(n*(n+1)/2) + ...
Explicitly,
B(x) = Sum_{n>=0} x^n * A(x)^(n*(n-1)/2) = 1 + x + x^2 + 3*x^3 + 15*x^4 + 89*x^5 + 577*x^6 + 3979*x^7 + 28815*x^8 + 217201*x^9 + 1692161*x^10 + 13551891*x^11 + 111134095*x^12 + 930739465*x^13 + 7945996609*x^14 + 69062717851*x^15 + ...
2 - B(x) = Sum_{n>=0} (-x)^n * A(x)^(n*(n+1)/2) = 1 - x - x^2 - 3*x^3 - 15*x^4 - 89*x^5 - 577*x^6 - 3979*x^7 - 28815*x^8 - 217201*x^9 - 1692161*x^10 - ...
