Note that if F(x)^2 = exp(x) * F(x*F(x)) with F(0) = 1, then F(x) is the e.g.f. of A367391.

FORMULA
E.g.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=1} a(n)*x^n/n! and B(x) = x*A(x) satisfies the following formulas.
(1) A(x)^2 = exp(x) * A(x*A(x)).
Let B^n(x) denote the n-th iteration of B(x) = x*A(x), where B^(n+1)(x) = B( B^n(x) ) with B^0(x) = x, then
(2) log( A(x)/x ) = Sum_{n>=0} B^n(x).
(3) B^n(x) = x*A(x)^(2^n - 1) / exp( Sum_{k=0..n-2} (2^(n-k-1) - 1) * B^k(x) ) for n > 1.
(3.a) B^2(x) = x*A(x)^3 / exp(x).
(3.b) B^3(x) = x*A(x)^7 / exp(3*x + B(x)).
(3.c) B^4(x) = x*A(x)^15 / exp(7*x + 3*B(x) + B^2(x)).
(3.d) B^5(x) = x*A(x)^31 / exp(15*x + 7*B(x) + 3*B^2(x) + B^3(x)).
(4) A( B^n(x) ) = A(x)^(2^n) / exp( Sum_{k=0..n-1} 2^(n-k-1) * B^k(x) ) for n > 0.
(4.a) A(B(x)) = A(x)^2 / exp(x).
(4.b) A(B^2(x)) = A(x)^4 / exp(2*x + B(x)).
(4.c) A(B^3(x)) = A(x)^8 / exp(4*x + 2*B(x) + B^2(x)).
(4.d) A(B^4(x)) = A(x)^16 / exp(8*x + 4*B(x) + 2*B^2(x) + B^3(x)).
EXAMPLE
E.g.f.: A(x) = x + 2*x^2/2! + 9*x^3/3! + 52*x^4/4! + 545*x^5/5! + 6366*x^6/6! + 98707*x^7/7! + 1700840*x^8/8! + 35405505*x^9/9! + 817958170*x^10/10! + ...
where A(x)^2 = exp(x) * A(x*A(x)) as can be seen from the following expansions
A(x)^2 = 2*x^2/2! + 12*x^3/3! + 96*x^4/4! + 880*x^5/5! + 11280*x^6/6! + 167664*x^7/7! + 3030944*x^8/8! + ...
A(x*A(x)) = 2*x^2/2! + 6*x^3/3! + 60*x^4/4! + 500*x^5/5! + 7230*x^6/6! + 104202*x^7/7! + 1962296*x^8/8! + ...
Let B(x) = x*A(x), then log( A(x)/x ) equals the sum of all iterations of B(x)
log( A(x)/x ) = x + B(x) + B(B(x)) + B(B(B(x))) + B(B(B(B(x)))) + ...
which is equivalent to
log( A(x)/x ) = x + x*A(x) + x*A(x)*A(x*A(x)) + x*A(x)*A(x*A(x)) * A( x*A(x)*A(x*A(x)) ) + ...

A(x)/x = 1 + x + 3*x^2/2! + 13*x^3/3! + 109*x^4/4! + 1061*x^5/5! + 14101*x^6/6! + 212605*x^7/7! + 3933945*x^8/8! + 81795817*x^9/9! + ...
log( A(x)/x ) = x + 2*x^2/2! + 6*x^3/3! + 60*x^4/4! + 500*x^5/5! + 6870*x^6/6! + 96642*x^7/7! + 1824536*x^8/8! + 36995688*x^9/9! + ...
Successive iterations of B(x) = x*A(x) begin
B(x) = 2*x^2/2! + 6*x^3/3! + 36*x^4/4! + 260*x^5/5! + 3270*x^6/6! + 44562*x^7/7! + 789656*x^8/8! + ...

etc.
where A(x) = x * exp(x + B(x) + B(B(x)) + B(B(B(x))) + B(B(B(B(x)))) + ...).
