%F Let D(x) = Sum_{n>=0} (2n-1)!!*x^n = 1/(1 - x/(1 - 2x/(1 - 3x/...))) and R_r(x) = Sum_{n>=0} o_r(n)*x^n = 1/(1 - x - r*x^2/(1 - x - 2*r*x^2/(1 - x - 3*r*x^2/...))), where o_r(n) = Sum_{k=0..n/2} binomial(n, 2k)*(2k-1)!!*r^k. Then the generating function of this sequence is Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n = Product_{i >= 1} (D(2ix^{4i}) * R_{2i-1}(x^{2i-1}). - _Arvind Ayyer_, Jun 11 2024
