Conjecture: a(n) is odd when n = 2^k - 1 for k >= 0 and even elsewhere.

Examples

			G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 9*x^3 + 22*x^4 + 138*x^5 + 356*x^6 + 2585*x^7 + 6830*x^8 + 53838*x^9 + 144156*x^10 + 1197546*x^11 + 3233692*x^12 + ...
where A(x) is formed from the odd bisection of A(x)^2 and the even bisection of A(x)^3, as can be seen from the expansions
A(x)^2 = 1 + 2*x + 5*x^2 + 22*x^3 + 66*x^4 + 356*x^5 + 1157*x^6 + 6830*x^7 + 23222*x^8 + 144156*x^9 + 504546*x^10 + ...
A(x)^3 = 1 + 3*x + 9*x^2 + 40*x^3 + 138*x^4 + 693*x^5 + 2585*x^6 + 13764*x^7 + 53838*x^8 + 296646*x^9 + 1197546*x^10 + ...
so that the bisections of the above series are related by
(A(x) + A(-x))/2 = 1 + x*(A(x)^2 - A(-x)^2)/2, and
(A(x) - A(-x))/2 = x*(A(x)^3 + A(-x)^3)/2.

Formula

G.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n satisfies the following formulas.

(1) A(x) = 1 + x*(A(x)^2 - A(-x)^2)/2 + x*(A(x)^3 + A(-x)^3)/2.

(2) A(x) = 2 - A(-x) + x*A(x)^2 - x*A(-x)^2.

(3) A(x) = A(-x) + x*A(x)^3 + x*A(-x)^3.

(4.a) A(x) = (1 - sqrt(1-8*x + 4*x*A(-x) + 4*x^2*A(-x)^2)) / (2*x).

(4.b) A(-x) = (sqrt(1+8*x - 4*x*A(x) + 4*x^2*A(x)^2) - 1) / (2*x).

(5) (A(x) + A(-x))/2 = 1/(1 - 2*x*(A(x) - A(-x))/2).
