Comments

Odd terms seem to occur only at positions 0, 1, and 2*A118113(k) for k >= 0.

Compare to identity: [x^n] (x*F(x))' / F(x)^(n+1) = 0 holds when F(0) = 1.

More generally, [x^n] G(x,k)^(k*(n+1)-1) / (x*G(x,k)^k)' = 0 is satisfied by an integer series G(x,k) when k is a fixed positive integer.
