FORMULA
G.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n along with related series B(x) and C(x) satisfy the following formulas.
(1.a) [x^n] 1/A(x)^(n+1) = [x^n] 1/A(x)^(2*n+2) for n > 1, with A'(0) = 1.
(1.b) [x^n] B(x) = (1/n) * [x^n] x/A(x)^n for n >= 1.
(1.c) [x^n] C(x) = (1/n) * [x^n] x/A(x)^(2*n) for n >= 1.
(2.a) B(x*A(x)) = x.
(2.b) C(x*A(x)^2) = x.
(3.a) B(x) = C(x) + x^2.
(3.b) B(x*A(x)^2) = x + x^2*A(x)^4.
(3.c) C(x*A(x)) = x - x^2*A(x)^2.
(4.a) B(x) = x / A(B(x)).
(4.b) C(x) = x / A(C(x))^2.
(5.a) B(x) = C( x^2/B(x) ).
(5.b) C(x) = B( sqrt(x*C(x)) ).
(6.a) B(x) = B( x^2/B(x) ) - x^4/B(x)^2 where x/B(x) is the g.f. of A383374.
(6.b) C(x) = C( sqrt(x*C(x)) ) / (1 - x) where sqrt(x/C(x)) is the g.f. of A383373.
a(n) ~ c * n^(n + 3/2 + 3*log(2)) / (exp(n) * log(2)^n), where c = 0.105405526766033561788392... = 4*c_A383373. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Apr 25 2025

in which we see [x^n] 1/A(x)^(n+1) = [x^n] 1/A(x)^(2*n+2) for n > 1.
From the above table we also obtain the related series B(x) and C(x).
The coefficients in B(x) equal (1/n) * [x^n] x/A(x)^n:
[1, (-2)/2, (-9)/3, (-80)/4, (-950)/5, (-13464)/6, (-216580)/7, ...].
The coefficients in C(x) equal (1/n) * [x^n] x/A(x)^(2*n):
[1, (-4)/2, (-9)/3, (-80)/4, (-950)/5, (-13464)/6, (-216580)/7, ...]
so that C(x) = B(x) - x^2.
