Formula

The growth series for D_k is the polynomial f(k)*Prod_{i=1..k-1} f(2*i), where f(m) = (1-x^m)/(1-x) [Corrected by N. J. A. Sloane, Aug 07 2021]. This is a row of the triangle in A162206.

# Growth series for D_k, truncated to terms of order M. - N. J. A. Sloane, Aug 07 2021

g := proc(k, M) local a, i; global f;
