The limit a(n+1)/a(n) seems to be near -7.46...

Examples

			G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x - 3*x^2 + 14*x^3 - 76*x^4 + 441*x^5 - 2678*x^6 +-...
where
A(x)^8 = 1 + 8*x + 4*x^2 - 6*x^4 + 24*x^6 - 117*x^8 + 612*x^10 - 3426*x^12 +-...
A(x^2)^4 = 1 + 4*x^2 - 6*x^4 + 24*x^6 - 117*x^8 + 612*x^10 - 3426*x^12 +-...
A(x)^2 = 1 + 2*x - 5*x^2 + 22*x^3 - 115*x^4 + 646*x^5 - 3822*x^6 +-...
