COMMENTS
Compare to the following identities of the Catalan function C(x) = x + C(x)^2 (A000108):
(1) C(x)^2 = C( x*C(x)*(1 + C(x)) ),
(2) C(x)^4 = C( x*C(x)^3*(1 + C(x))*(1 + C(x)^2) ),
(3) C(x)^8 = C( x*C(x)^7*(1 + C(x))*(1 + C(x)^2)*(1 + C(x)^4) ),
(4) C(x)^(2^n) = C( x*C(x)^(2^n-1)*Product_{k=0..n-1} (1 + C(x)^(2^k)) ) for n > 0.

FORMULA
G.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=1} a(n)*x^n satisfies the following formulas.
(1) A(x)^2 = A( x*A(x)/(1 - A(x)) ).
(2) A(x)^4 = A( x*A(x)^3/((1 - A(x))*(1 - A(x)^2)) ).
(3) A(x)^8 = A( x*A(x)^7/((1 - A(x))*(1 - A(x)^2)*(1 - A(x)^4)) ).
(4) A(x)^(2^n) = A( x*A(x)^(2^n-1)/Product_{k=0..n-1} (1 - A(x)^(2^k)) ) for n > 0.
(5) A(x) = x / Product_{n>=0} (1 - A(x)^(2^n)).
(6) A(x) = x * Product_{n>=0} (1 + A(x)^(2^n))^(n+1). - Paul D. Hanna, Jun 26 2024
(7) A(x) = Series_Reversion( x * Product_{n>=0} (1 - x^(2^n)) ).
(8) x = Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^A010060(n-1) * A(x)^n, where A010060 is the Thue-Morse sequence.
The radius of convergence r and A(r) satisfy 1 = Sum_{n>=0} 2^n * A(r)^(2^n)/(1 - A(r)^(2^n)) and r = A(r) * Product_{n>=0} (1 - A(r)^(2^n)), where r = 0.19736158352631556925015099049581233030702919287488... and A(r) = 0.37298513723316144189484491702105095014110332846051...
Given r and A(r) above, A(r) also satisfies 1 = Sum_{n>=0} (n+1)*2^n * A(r)^(2^n)/(1 + A(r)^(2^n)) ). - Paul D. Hanna, Jun 26 2024
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = x + x^2 + 3*x^3 + 9*x^4 + 33*x^5 + 125*x^6 + 501*x^7 + 2065*x^8 + 8739*x^9 + 37685*x^10 + 165107*x^11 + 732681*x^12 + ...
where A( x*A(x)/(1 - A(x)) ) = A(x)^2.
RELATED SERIES.
Let R(x) be the series reversion of g.f. A(x), R(A(x)) = x, then
R(x) = x * Product_{n>=0} (1 - x^(2^n)) = x - x^2 - x^3 + x^4 - x^5 + x^6 + x^7 - x^8 - x^9 + x^10 + x^11 - x^12 + x^13 - x^14 - x^15 + x^16 + ... + (-1)^A010060(n-1) * x^n + ...
thus,
x = A(x) * (1 - A(x)) * (1 - A(x)^2) * (1 - A(x)^4) * (1 - A(x)^8) * (1 - A(x)^16) * ... * (1 - A(x)^(2^n)) * ...
