Seqfans, 
     Recall the identity: 
(2) Sum_{n>=0} log(1 + q^n*x)^n/n!  =  Sum_{n>=0} C(q^n,n)*x^n. 

 From this, I found the more general statements: 

(3) Sum_{n>=0} m^n*log(1 + q^n*x)^n/n!  =  Sum_{n>=0} C(m*q^n,n)*x^n.

(4) Sum_{n>=0} m^n * (1 + q^n*x)^b * log(1 + q^n*x)^n/n!  =  
     Sum_{n>=0} C(m*q^n + b, n)*x^n.

Identity (4) is very interesting ... I wonder if it leads to other
results? 
It certainly can lead to many significant sequences! 

What I would really like is for formula (4) to allow the g.f. 
    A(x,m,b) = Sum_{n>=0} C(m*q^n + b, n)*x^n 
to be manipulated to solve some functional equation ... 

Any ideas along these lines from anyone?
      Paul

Seqfans, 
        Just found an o.g.f. for A014070(n) = C(2^n,n): 

(1) G.f.: A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} log(1 + 2^n*x)^n / n!.

More generally, we have the nontrivial identity: 

(2) Sum_{n>=0} log(1 + q^n*x)^n/n!  =  Sum_{n>=0} C(q^n,n)*x^n. 

The proof is easy given the following formula for A008275, 
the Stirling numbers of the first kind: 
   E.g.f. for k-th column of A008275 is ln(1+x)^k/k!. 

Can any other interesting result be derived from (2)? 
Thanks, 
     Paul
