From Tom Copeland, Oct 14 2011: (Start)
Given analytic functions F(x) and FI(x) such that F(FI(x))=FI(F(x))=x about 0, i.e., they are compositional inverses of each other, then, with g(x) = 1/dFI(x)/dx, a flow function W(s,x) can be defined with the following relations:
W(s,x) = exp(s g(x)d/dx)x = F(s+FI(x)) ,
W(s,0) = F(s) ,
W(0,x) = x ,
dW(0,x)/ds = g(x) = F'[FI(x)] , implying
dW(0,F(x))/ds = g(F(x)) = F'(x) , and
W(s,W(r,x)) = F(s+FI(F(r+FI(x)))) = F(s+r+FI(x)) = W(s+r,x) . (See MF link below.) (End)
dW(s,x)/ds - g(x)dW(s,x)/dx = 0, so (1,-g(x)) are the components of a vector orthogonal to the gradient of W and, therefore, tangent to the contour of W, at (s,x) . - Tom Copeland, Oct 26 2011
Though A139605 contains A145271, the op. of A145271 contains that of A139605 in the sense that exp(s g(x)d/dx) w(x) = w(F(s+FI(x))) = exp((exp(s g(x)d/dx)x)d/du)w(u) evaluated at u=0. This is reflected in the fact that the forest of rooted trees assoc. to (g(x)d/dx)^n, FOR_n, can be generated by removing the single trunk of the planted rooted trees of FOR_(n+1). - Tom Copeland, Nov 29 2011
Related to formal group laws for elliptic curves (see Hoffman). - Tom Copeland, Feb 24 2012
The functional equation W(s,x) = F(s+FI(x)), or a restriction of it, is sometimes called the Abel equation or Abel's functional equation (see Houzel and Wikipedia) and is related to Schröder's functional equation and Koenigs functions for compositional iterates (Alexander, Goryainov and Kudryavtseva). - Tom Copeland, Apr 04 2012
g(W(s,x)) = F'(s + FI(x)) = dW(s,x)/ds = g(x) dW(s,x)/dx, connecting the operators here to presentations of the Koenigs / Königs function and Loewner / Löwner evolution equations of the Contreras et al. papers. - Tom Copeland, Jun 03 2018
The autonomous differential equation above also appears with a change in variable of the form x = log(u) in the renormalization group equation, or Beta function. See Wikipedia, Zinn-Justin equations 2.10 and 3.11, and Krajewski and Martinetti equation 21. - Tom Copeland, Jul 23 2020
A variant of these partition polynomials appears on p. 83 of Petreolle et al. with the indeterminates e_n there related to those given in the examples below by e_n = n!*(n'). The coefficients are interpreted as enumerating certain types of trees. See also A190015. - Tom Copeland, Oct 03 2022

Examples

			From _Tom Copeland_, Sep 19 2014: (Start)
Let h(x) = log((1+a*x)/(1+b*x))/(a-b); then, g(x) = 1/(dh(x)/dx) = (1+ax)(1+bx), so (0')=1, (1')=a+b, (2')=2ab, evaluated at x=0, and higher order derivatives of g(x) vanish. Therefore, evaluated at x=0,
R^0 g(x) =  1
R^1 g(x) =  a+b
R^2 g(x) = (a+b)^2 + 2ab = a^2 + 4 ab + b^2
R^3 g(x) = (a+b)^3 + 4*(a+b)*2ab = a^3 + 11 a^2*b + 11 ab^2 + b^3
R^4 g(x) = (a+b)^4 + 11*(a+b)^2*2ab + 4*(2ab)^2
         =  a^4 + 26 a^3*b + 66 a^2*b^2 + 26 ab^3 + b^4,
etc., and these bivariate Eulerian polynomials (A008292) are the first few coefficients of h^(-1)(x) = (e^(ax) - e^(bx))/(a*e^(bx) - b*e^(ax)), the inverse of h(x). (End)

Formula

Let R = g(x)d/dx; then
R^0 g(x) = 1 (0')^1
R^1 g(x) = 1 (0')^1 (1')^1
R^2 g(x) = 1 (0')^1 (1')^2 + 1 (0')^2 (2')^1
R^3 g(x) = 1 (0')^1 (1')^3 + 4 (0')^2 (1')^1 (2')^1 + 1 (0')^3 (3')^1
R^4 g(x) = 1 (0')^1 (1')^4 + 11 (0')^2 (1')^2 (2')^1 + 4 (0')^3 (2')^2 + 7 (0')^3 (1')^1 (3')^1 + 1 (0')^4 (4')^1
R^5 g(x) = 1 (0') (1')^5 + 26 (0')^2 (1')^3 (2') + (0')^3 [34 (1') (2')^2 + 32 (1')^2 (3')] + (0')^4 [ 15 (2') (3') + 11 (1') (4')] + (0')^5 (5')
R^6 g(x) = 1 (0') (1')^6 + 57 (0')^2 (1')^4 (2') + (0')^3 [180 (1')^2 (2')^2 + 122 (1')^3 (3')] + (0')^4 [ 34 (2')^3 + 192 (1') (2') (3') + 76 (1')^2 (4')] + (0')^5 [15 (3')^2 + 26 (2') (4') + 16 (1') (5')] + (0')^6 (6')
where (j')^k = ((d/dx)^j g(x))^k. And R^(n-1) g(x) evaluated at x=0 is the n-th Taylor series coefficient of the compositional inverse of h(x) = (d/dx)^(-1) 1/g(x), with the integral from 0 to x.
The partitions are in reverse order to those in Abramowitz and Stegun p. 831. Summing over coefficients with like powers of (0') gives A008292.

Equivalent matrix computation: Multiply the n-th diagonal (with n=0 the main diagonal) of the lower triangular Pascal matrix by g_n = (d/dx)^n g(x) to obtain the matrix VP with VP(n,k) = binomial(n,k) g_(n-k). Then R^n g(x) = (1, 0, 0, 0, ...) [VP * S]^n (g_0, g_1, g_2, ...)^T, where S is the shift matrix A129185, representing differentiation in the divided powers basis x^n/n!. - Tom Copeland, Feb 10 2016 (An evaluation removed by author on Jul 19 2016. Cf. A139605 and A134685.)
Also, R^n g(x) = (1, 0, 0, 0, ...) [VP * S]^(n+1) (0, 1, 0, ...)^T in agreement with A139605. - Tom Copeland, Jul 21 2016

Indeterminate substitutions as illustrated in A356145 lead to [E] = [L][P] = [P][E]^(-1)[P] = [P][RT] and [E]^(-1) = [P][L] = [P][E][P] = [RT][P], where [E] contains the refined Eulerian partition polynomials of this entry; [E]^(-1), A356145, the inverse set to [E]; [P], the permutahedra polynomials of A133314; [L], the classic Lagrange inversion polynomials of A134685; and [RT], the reciprocal tangent polynomials of A356144. Since [L]^2 = [P]^2 = [RT]^2 = [I], the substitutional identity, [L] = [E][P] = [P][E]^(-1) = [RT][P], [RT] = [E]^(-1)[P] = [P][L][P] = [P][E], and [P] = [L][E] = [E][RT] = [E]^(-1)[L] = [RT][E]^(-1). - Tom Copeland, Oct 05 2022
