FORMULA
G.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n) * x^n may be described as follows.
(1) 2 = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^n * (2*A(x) + x^(n-1))^(n+1).
(2) 2*x = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * (2*x*A(x) + x^n)^(n+1).
(3) 2*x = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(n*(n-1)) / (1 + 2*A(x)*x^(n+1))^(n-1).
(4) A(x) = 1 / [Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * (2*x*A(x) + x^n)^n ].
(5) A(x) = 1 / [Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(n^2) / (1 + 2*A(x)*x^(n+1))^n ].
From Paul D. Hanna, May 12 2023: (Start)
(6) 2 = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(3*n+1) * (2*A(x) + x^n)^n.
(7) A(x) = 1 / [Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^(n+1) * x^(2*n+1) * (2*A(x) + x^n)^n ].
(8) 2*x = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^(n+1) * x^(n*(n-1)) / (1 + 2*A(x)*x^(n+1))^(n+1).
(9) 0 = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(2*n) * (2*A(x) + x^n)^(n+1).
(10) 0 = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(n*(n-1)) / (1 + 2*A(x)*x^n)^n.
(11) 0 = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(n*(n-1)) / (1 + 2*A(x)*x^(n+1))^n. (End)
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A359670(n,k)*2^k for n >= 0.
