Compare definition of g.f. to:
(1) B(x) = 1 + x/B(-x*B(x)) when B(x) = 1/(1-x).
(2) C(x) = 1 + x/C(-x*C(x)^3)^2 when C(x) = 1 + x*C(x)^2 (A000108).
(3) D(x) = 1 + x/D(-x*D(x)^5)^3 when D(x) = 1 + x*D(x)^3 (A001764).
(4) E(x) = 1 + x/E(-x*E(x)^7)^4 when E(x) = 1 + x*E(x)^4 (A002293).
(5) F(x) = 1 + x/F(-x*F(x)^9)^5 when F(x) = 1 + x*F(x)^5 (A002294).
The first negative term is a(249). - Georg Fischer, Feb 16 2019

EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 4*x^2 + 26*x^3 + 188*x^4 + 1627*x^5 + 15172*x^6 +...

A(x)^8 = 1 + 8*x + 60*x^2 + 488*x^3 + 4150*x^4 + 37600*x^5 + 358788*x^6 +...
A(-x*A(x)^8)^4 = 1 - 4*x - 10*x^2 - 44*x^3 - 439*x^4 - 3884*x^5 - 42724*x^6 -...
