The radius of convergence r of the g.f. A(x) solves r*(1+r)^2 = 1 where r = (((29 + sqrt(837))/2)^(1/3) + ((29 - sqrt(837))/2)^(1/3) - 2)/3 = 0.465571231876768...

Formula

G.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=1} a(n)*x^n satisfies:

(1) A(x) = A( x^2*(1+x)^2 ) / x.

(2) R(x*A(x)) = x^2*(1+x)^2, where R(A(x)) = x.

(3) A(x) = x * Product_{n>=1} F(n)^2, where F(1) = 1+x, and F(n+1) = 1 + (F(n) - 1)^2 * F(n)^2 for n >= 1.

Example

G.f.: A(x) = x + 2*x^2 + 3*x^3 + 8*x^4 + 15*x^5 + 26*x^6 + 55*x^7 + 124*x^8 + 284*x^9 + 616*x^10 + 1264*x^11 + 2560*x^12 + ...
RELATED SERIES.
(x*A(x))^(1/2) = x + x^2 + x^3 + 3*x^4 + 4*x^5 + 6*x^6 + 13*x^7 + 31*x^8 + 72*x^9 + 142*x^10 + ... + A369545(n)*x^n + ...
Let R(x) be the series reversion of A(x),
R(x) = x - 2*x^2 + 5*x^3 - 18*x^4 + 80*x^5 - 376*x^6 + 1805*x^7 - 8902*x^8 + 45133*x^9 - 233728*x^10 + 1229185*x^11 - 6544420*x^12 + ...
then R(x) and g.f. A(x) satisfy:
(1) R(A(x)) = x,
(2) R(x*A(x)) = x^2*(1 + x)^2.
GENERATING METHOD.
Define F(n), a polynomial in x of order 4^(n-1), by the following recurrence:
F(1) = (1 + x),
F(2) = (1 + x^2 * (1+x)^2),
F(3) = (1 + x^4 * (1+x)^4 * F(2)^2),
F(4) = (1 + x^8 * (1+x)^8 * F(2)^4 * F(3)^2),
F(5) = (1 + x^16 * (1+x)^16 * F(2)^8 * F(3)^4 * F(4)^2),
...
F(n+1) = 1 + (F(n) - 1)^2 * F(n)^2
...
Then the g.f. A(x) equals the infinite product:
A(x) = x * F(1)^2 * F(2)^2 * F(3)^2 * ... * F(n)^2 * ...
that is,
A(x) = x * (1+x)^2 * (1 + x^2*(1+x)^2)^2 * (1 + x^4*(1+x)^4*(1 + x^2*(1+x)^2)^2)^2 * (1 + x^8*(1+x)^8*(1 + x^2*(1+x)^2)^4*(1 + x^4*(1+x)^4*(1 + x^2*(1+x)^2)^2)^2)^2 * ...
