%N Given g.f. A(x), the even bisections of both A(x) and A(x)^2 are equal, and the odd bisections of both A(x)^2 and A(x)^3 are equal (after the initial terms).

%F (2) (A(x) - A(-x))/2 = x/(A(x)*A(-x)).
%F (3a) (A(x)^2 + A(-x)^2)/2 = (A(x) + A(-x))/2.
%F (3b) (A(x)^2 - A(-x)^2)/2 = 2*x + (A(x) - A(-x))^3/2.

%e Compare A(x) with the coefficients in the following series expansions:
%e A(x)^2 = 1 + 2*x - 1*x^2 + 4*x^3 - 7*x^4 + 36*x^5 - 79*x^6 + 444*x^7 - 1075*x^8 + 6324*x^9 - 16180*x^10 + 97872*x^11 + ...

%e A(x)^4 = 1 + 4*x + 2*x^2 + 4*x^3 + 3*x^4 + 36*x^5 + 16*x^6 + 444*x^7 + 121*x^8 + 6324*x^9 + 1040*x^10 + 97872*x^11 + ...
%e which illustrate the properties that the coefficients of x^k for even k in A(x) and A(x)^2 are equal, and that the coefficients of x^k for odd k > 1 in A(x)^2, A(x)^3, and A(x)^4 are equal.
%e Related series.
%e (1) Notice that A(x)^2 - A(x) forms an odd function:
%e A(x)^2 - A(x) = x + x^3 + 8*x^5 + 94*x^7 + 1304*x^9 + 19849*x^11 + 320600*x^13 + 5396108*x^15 + ...
%e such that the series reversion begins
%e Series_Reversion( A(x)^2 - A(x) ) = x - x^3 - 5*x^5 - 42*x^7 - 429*x^9 - 4862*x^11 - 58786*x^13 - ...
%e which equals x - x*(C(x) + C(-x))/2, where C(x) = x + C(x)^2:
%e C(x) = x + x^2 + 2*x^3 + 5*x^4 + 14*x^5 + 42*x^6 + 132*x^7 + 429*x^8 + 1430*x^9 + 4862*x^10 + ...
%e and is the Catalan power series C(x) = (1 - sqrt(1-4*x))/2.
%e (2) Also, the coefficients in the following series form a bisection of A(x):
%e (A(x)^4 - A(x)^3 - x)/2 = x^2 + 3*x^4 + 28*x^6 + 350*x^8 + 5020*x^10 + 78023*x^12 + 1278340*x^14 + ... + A352383(n)*x^(2*n+2) + ...
%e (3) Further, a series bisection of A(x)^2, A(x)^3, and A(x)^4 is
%e (A(x) - A(-x))^3/2 = 4*x^3 + 36*x^5 + 444*x^7 + 6324*x^9 + 97872*x^11 + 1598940*x^13 + 27136744*x^15 + ... + 4*A352384(n)*x^(2*n+3) + ...
%e which is equal to 4*x*F(x^2), where F( x*(1+x)^3/(1+2*x)^6 ) = x, and
%e F(x) = x + 9*x^2 + 111*x^3 + 1581*x^4 + 24468*x^5 + 399735*x^6 + 6784186*x^7 + ... + A352384(n)*x^(n+1) + ...
%e with
%e (F(x)/x)^(1/3) = 1 + 3*x + 28*x^2 + 350*x^3 + 5020*x^4 + 78023*x^5 + 1278340*x^6 + ... + A352383(n)*x^n + ...
%e (4) The above observations lead to the composition of functions
%e Series_Reversion(A(x) - 1) = [x - x*(C(x) + C(-x))/2] o (x + x^2)
%e which is equivalent to
%e Series_Reversion(A(x) - 1) = x*(1+x)*(3 + 2*x + sqrt(1-4*x-4*x^2))/4.
