Seqfans,
Sequences A120588 - A120607 are examples of
solutions to functional equations of the form:
r*A(x) = c + b*x + A(x)^n
I list the examples at the bottom of this message.
Can anyone find nice formulas for any of these sequences?
A120588 is simple, but what about A120590 - A120607 ?
In A120588 I give a comment describing the conditions necessary
to satisfy such an equation, but the comment needs to be revised
and made more precise. Would someone care to help?
Thanks,
Paul

A120588 - COMMENT :
"In order for the g.f. of an integer sequence to satisfy
a functional equation of the form:
r*A(x) = c + b*x + A(x)^n, where n > 1,
it is necessary that the sequence start with [1, d, m*n*(n-1)/2],
where d divides m*n*(n-1)/2 (m>0), and that
the coefficients are given by r = n + d^2/m, c = r-1, and b = d^3/m.
The remaining terms may then be integer and still satisfy:
a_n(k) = r*a(k),
where a_n(k) is the k-th term of the n-th self-convolution of the
sequence."
