PARI
\\ here G(n,y) gives A082680 as g.f. G(n,y)={sum(n=1, n, x^n*sum(k=1, n, (n+k-1)!*(2*n-k)!*y^k/(k!*(n+1-k)!*(2*k-1)!*(2*n-2*k+1)!))) + O(x*x^n)} H(n)={my(g=1+x*G(n-1, y), v=Vec(sqrt(serreverse(x/g^2)/x))); vector(#v, n, Vecrev(v[n], n))} { my(T=H(8)); for(n=1, #T, print(T[n])) }
Formula
T(n,n+2-k) = T(n,k).
G.f.: A(x,y) satisfies A(x,y) = G(x*A(x,y)^2,y) where G(x,y) = 1 + x*B(x,y) and B(x,y) is the g.f. of A082680.
