More generally, if G(x) = 1/(1 - x*G(x)^p)^(G(x)^q), then

[x^n/n! ] G(x)^m = Sum_{k=0..n} m*(p*n+q*k+m)^(k-1) * (-1)^(n-k)*Stirling1(n,k), and

[x^n/n! ] log(G(x)) = Sum_{k=1..n} (p*n+q*k)^(k-1) * (-1)^(n-k)*Stirling1(n,k).

Generally, if e.g.f. A(x) satisfies A(x)^A(x) = 1/(1-x*A(x)^p), then a(n) ~ s*sqrt((s^s-1)/(p*(s^s-1)*(p*s^s-1)-s)) * n^(n-1) * (s^(p+s)/(s^s-1))^n / exp(n), where s is the root of the equation (1+log(s))*s = (s^s-1)*p. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Dec 28 2013

PARI

{a(n)=local(A=1+x); for(i=0, n, A=exp(-log(1-x*(A^2+x*O(x^n)))/A)); n!*polcoeff(A, n)}
for(n=0,21,print1(a(n),", "))

Formula

(1) a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (2*n-k+1)^(k-1)* (-1)^(n-k)* Stirling1(n,k).

Let A(x)^m = Sum_{n>=0} a(n,m)*x^n/n!, then

(2) a(n,m) = Sum_{k=0..n} m*(2*n-k+m)^(k-1) * (-1)^(n-k) *Stirling1(n,k) ;

which is equivalent to the following:

(3) a(n,m) = Sum_{k=0..n} m*(2*n-k+m)^(k-1) * {[x^(n-k)] Product_{j=1..n-1} (1+j*x)};

(4) a(n,m) = n!*Sum_{k=0..n} m*(2*n-k+m)^(k-1) * {[x^(n-k)] (-log(1-x)/x)^k/k!}.

Limit n->infinity a(n)^(1/n)/n = exp(2*(1-r)/(r-2))*(2-r+exp(r/(2-r))) = 1.7802115440907..., where r = 0.655269699533064... is the root of the equation exp(r/(2-r)) = ((r-2)/r)*(r + LambertW(-1,-r*exp(-r))). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 17 2013

a(n) ~ s*sqrt((s^s-1)/(2*(s^s-1)*(2*s^s-1)-s)) * n^(n-1) * (s^(2+s)/(s^s-1))^n / exp(n), where s = 1.627893875694537903318580987... is the root of the equation (1+log(s))*s = 2*(s^s-1). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Dec 28 2013
