Mathematica

q[x_] := x + 1; d = 2;
p[n_, x_] := ((x + d)^n + (x - d)^n )/2 (* similar to polynomials defined at A161516 *)
Table[Expand[p[n, x]], {n, 0, 6}]
reductionRules = {x^y_?EvenQ -> q[x]^(y/2),
   x^y_?OddQ -> x q[x]^((y - 1)/2)};
t = Table[Last[Most[FixedPointList[Expand[#1 /. reductionRules] &, p[n, x]]]], {n, 0, 30}]
