Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3, -3, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, -3, 4, -4, 3, -1, 0, 0, 0, -1, 3, -3, 1).
FORMULA
The growth series for the affine Coxeter group of type B_k (k >= 2) has g.f. = Product_i (1-x^{m_i+1})/((1-x)*(1-x^{m_i})) where the m_i are [1,3,5,...,2k-1].
Here (k=5) the G.f. is -(1+t)*(1+t+t^2+t^3)*(t^3+1)*(1+t+t^2+t^3+t^4+t^5+t^6+t^7)*(t^5+1)/(-1+t^9)/(-1+t^7)/(-1+t)^3.
