Conjecture: if F(x) satisfies p*x = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(p*n) * (F(x) + x^n)^(p*n) with F(0) = 1 for some fixed integer p, then F(x) is an integer series in x iff p is prime. The g.f. A(x) of this sequence is the case when p = 2; other cases include A380682 (p=3), A380683 (p=5), A380684 (p=7), A380685 (p=11), and A380686 (p=13).

FORMULA
G.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n satisfies the following formulas.
(1) 2*x = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(2*n) * (A(x) + x^n)^(2*n).
(2) 2*x = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(2*n*(n-1)) / (1 + x^n*A(x))^(2*n).
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + 2*x + 7*x^2 + 28*x^3 + 122*x^4 + 564*x^5 + 2707*x^6 + 13372*x^7 + 67593*x^8 + 347916*x^9 + 1817244*x^10 + ...
