COMMENT

The coefficients of x^n in A(x/2)^(1/2) equals A101190(n)/2^A005187(n). The coefficients of x^n in A(x/2)^(1/4) equals A101191(n)/2^A004134(n). A101190 and A101191 are related to doubly exponential numbers A003095 and to Catalan numbers (A000108).

FORMULA

G.f. A(x) = [Sum_{n>=0} A101190(n)/2^A005187(n)*(2x)^n]^2. G.f. A(x) = [Sum_{n>=0} A101191(n)/2^A004134(n)*(2x)^n]^4.

EXAMPLE

The iteration begins:

F(0) = 1,

F(1) = F(0)^2 + (2*x)^(2^1-1)

= 1 +2*x,

F(2) = F(1)^2 + (2*x)^(2^2-1)

= 1 +4*x +4*x^2 +8*x^3,

F(3) = F(2)^2 + (2*x)^(2^3-1)

= 1 +8*x +24*x^2 +48*x^3 +80*x^4 +64*x^5 +64*x^6 +128*x^7.

The 2^(n-1)-th roots of F(n) tend to the limit of A(x):

F(1)^(1/2^0) = 1 +2*x

F(2)^(1/2^1) = 1 +2*x +4*x^3 -8*x^4 +16*x^5 -40*x^6 + ...

F(3)^(1/2^2) = 1 +2*x +4*x^3 -8*x^4 +16*x^5 -40*x^6 +144*x^7 -512*x^8 +...

The limit of this process is the g.f. A(x).

PROGRAM

(PARI) {a(n)=local(F=1, A, L); if(n==0, A=1, L=ceil(log(n+1)/log(2)); for(k=1, L, F=F^2+(2*x)^(2^k-1)); A=polcoeff(F^(1/(2^(L-1)))+x*O(x^n), n)); A}
