FORMULA
G.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=1} a(n)*x^n satisfies the following formulas.
(1) A(x)^2 = A( x^2/(1-2*x)^3 )/(1-2*x).
(2) A(x)^4 = A( x^4*y^3 )*y where y = (1-2*x)/((1-4*x)*(1-2*x+2*x^2)).
(3) A(x^2 + 2*x^3) = A( x/(1+2*x) )^2 / (1+2*x).
The radius of convergence r satisfies r = (1 - 2*r)^3, where A(r) = 1/(1-2*r) and r = (1/12)*(6 + (6*sqrt(87) - 54)^(1/3) - (6*sqrt(87) + 54)^(1/3)) = 0.20512274384927080786...
