Comments

The g.f. of this sequence is motivated by the following identity:

Sum_{n>=0} p^n/(1 - q*r^n) = Sum_{n>=0} q^n/(1 - p*r^n) = Sum_{n>=0} p^n*q^n*r^(n^2)*(1 - p*q*r^(2*n))/((1 - p*r^n)*(1-q*r^n)) ;

here, p = x, q = x, and r = A(x).

Formula

G.f. A(x) satisfies:

(1) A(x) = (1-x) * Sum_{n>=0} x^n / (1 - x*A(x)^n).

(2) A(x) = (1-x) * Sum_{n>=0} x^(2*n) * A(x)^(n^2) * (1 + x*A(x)^n) / (1 - x*A(x)^n). - Paul D. Hanna, Feb 20 2021

Example

G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + x^2 + 2*x^3 + 5*x^4 + 14*x^5 + 42*x^6 + 133*x^7 + 440*x^8 + 1510*x^9 + 5347*x^10 + 19459*x^11 + 72561*x^12 + ...
where
A(x)/(1-x) = 1/(1-x) + x/(1 - x*A(x)) + x^2/(1 - x*A(x)^2) + x^3/(1 - x*A(x)^3) + x^4/(1 - x*A(x)^4) + x^5/(1 - x*A(x)^5) + ...
