FORMULA
G.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n satisfies the following formulas.
(1) A(x) = 1 + x*(A(x)^2 + A(-x)^2)/2 + x*(A(x)^3 - A(-x)^3)/2.
(2) A(x) = A(-x) + x*A(x)^2 + x*A(-x)^2.
(3) A(x) = 2 - A(-x) + x*A(x)^3 - x*A(-x)^3.
(4.a) A(x) = (1 - sqrt(1 - 4*x*A(-x) - 4*x^2*A(-x)^2)) / (2*x).
(4.b) A(-x) = (sqrt(1 + 4*x*A(x) - 4*x^2*A(x)^2) - 1) / (2*x).
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 3*x^2 + 7*x^3 + 40*x^4 + 103*x^5 + 723*x^6 + 1941*x^7 + 15060*x^8 + 41382*x^9 + 340657*x^10 + 950061*x^11 + 8132676*x^12 + ...
where A(x) is formed from the even bisection of A(x)^2 and the odd bisection of A(x)^3, as can be seen from the expansions
A(x)^2 = 1 + 2*x + 7*x^2 + 20*x^3 + 103*x^4 + 328*x^5 + 1941*x^6 + 6506*x^7 + 41382*x^8 + 142892*x^9 + 950061*x^10 + ...
A(x)^3 = 1 + 3*x + 12*x^2 + 40*x^3 + 198*x^4 + 723*x^5 + 3927*x^6 + 15060*x^7 + 86190*x^8 + 340657*x^9 + 2016195*x^10 + ...
so that the bisections of the above series are related by
(A(x) - A(-x))/2 = x*(A(x)^2 + A(-x)^2)/2, and
(A(x) + A(-x))/2 = 1 + x*(A(x)^3 - A(-x)^3)/2.
SPECIFIC VALUES.
The g.f. A(x) converges at the radius of convergence r, given by
A(-r) = 1 at r = (A(r) - 1)/(1 + A(r)^2) = 0.1795090246029167685576...
where A(r) = (1 + (28 + sqrt(783))^(1/3) + (28 - sqrt(783))^(1/3))/3 = 1.6956207695598620574163671... solves A(r)^3 - A(r)^2 = 2.
Other values are as follows.
A(t) = 3/2 at t = 0.1762576405478293392948378476047094214871919048852854...
