FORMULA
G.f.: A(x) = Series_Reversion( Product_{n>=0} F(n) ), where F(0) = x, F(1) = 1-x^2, and F(n+1) = 1 - (1 - F(n))^3 * F(n)^2 for n > 0.
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = x + x^3 + 3*x^5 + 13*x^7 + 62*x^9 + 318*x^11 + 1721*x^13 + 9660*x^15 + 55710*x^17 + ...
The series reversion is here denoted R(x) so that R(A(x)) = x where
R(x) = x - x^3 - x^7 + 3*x^9 - 3*x^11 + x^13 - x^19 + 7*x^21 - 21*x^23 + 38*x^25 + ... + A350479(n)*x^(2*n-1) + ...
and which by definition also satisfies A(x^2*R(x)) = x^3 - x^5.
GENERATING METHOD.
One may obtain the g.f. A(x) from the following method used to generate the series reversion R(x).
Define F(n), a polynomial in x of order 2*5^(n-1), by the following recurrence:
F(0) = x,
F(1) = (1 - x^2),
F(2) = (1 - x^6 * (1-x^2)^2),
F(3) = (1 - x^18 * (1-x^2)^6 * F(2)^2),
F(4) = (1 - x^54 * (1-x^2)^18 * F(2)^6 * F(3)^2),
F(5) = (1 - x^162 * (1-x^2)^54 * F(2)^18 * F(3)^6 * F(4)^2),
...
F(n+1) = 1 - (1 - F(n))^3 * F(n)^2
...
Then the series reversion R(x) equals the infinite product:
R(x) = x * F(1) * F(2) * F(3) * ... * F(n) * ...
that is,
R(x) = x * (1-x^2) * (1 - x^6*(1-x^2)^2) * (1 - x^18*(1-x^2)^6*(1 - x^6*(1-x^2)^2)^2) * (1 - x^54*(1-x^2)^18*(1 - x^6*(1-x^2)^2)^6*(1 - x^18*(1-x^2)^6*(1 - x^6*(1-x^2)^2)^2)^2) * ...
The g.f. of this sequence is then obtained as the series reversion of this infinite product.
