FORMULA
E.g.f. A = A(x) satisfies:
(1) 1/(1-x)^2 = 1 + A + A*Dx(A)/2! + A*Dx(A*Dx(A))/3! + A*Dx(A*Dx(A*Dx(A)))/4! + ...
(2) Catalan(-x)^2 = 1 - A + A*Dx(A)/2! - A*Dx(A*Dx(A))/3! + A*Dx(A*Dx(A*Dx(A)))/4! -+ ...
(3) (1-x)^2/(1-3*x+x^2)^2 = 1 + 2*A + 2^2*A*Dx(A)/2! + 2^3*A*Dx(A*Dx(A))/3! + 2^4*A*Dx(A*Dx(A*Dx(A)))/4! + ...
where Dx(F) = d/dx(x*F).
INVERSION FORMULA:
More generally, if A(x) = A(G(x))*G(x)/(x*G'(x)) with G(0)=0, G'(0)=1,
then G(x) can be obtained from A=A(x) by the series:
G(x)/x = 1 + A + A*Dx(A)/2! + A*Dx(A*Dx(A))/3! + A*Dx(A*Dx(A*Dx(A)))/4! + ... where Dx(F) = d/dx(x*F).
ITERATION FORMULA:
Let G_{n}(x) denote the n-th iteration of G(x) = x/(1-x)^2, and A=A(x), then:
G_{n}(x)/x = 1 + n*A + n^2*A*Dx(A)/2! + n^3*A*Dx(A*Dx(A))/3! + n^4*A*Dx(A*Dx(A*Dx(A)))/4! + ...
MATRIX LOG OF RIORDAN ARRAY (G(x)/x, G(x)) where G(x) = x/(1-x)^2:
E.g.f. A(x) forms column 0 of A179321, the matrix log of triangle A078812, where A078812(n,k) = C(n+k+1,n-k); the g.f. of column k in A078812 is [x/(1-x)^2]^(k+1)/x.
A179321(n,k) = (k+1)*a(n-k)/(n-k)! for n>0, k>=0, where A179321 = matrix log of triangle A078812.
...
a(n) = (-1)^(n-1)*2*A027614(n), where A027614 is related to Clebsch-Gordan formulas.
a(n) = 2*n!*b(n), with a(0) = 0, where b(n) = (-1/(2*(n-1))) * Sum_{j=2..2*floor(n/2)} A123521(n, j)*b(n-j+1), and b(1) = 1. - G. C. Greubel, Sep 01 2022

A(x/(1-x)^2) = 2*x + 6*x^2/2! + 18*x^3/3! + 68*x^4/4! + 360*x^5/5! + 2184*x^6/6! + 13272*x^7/7! + 122016*x^8/8! + 1541376*x^9/9! + 1987200*x^10/10! - 150923520*x^11/11! + 16504093440*x^12/12! + ...
