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].
CROSSREFS
The growth series for the finite Coxeter (or Weyl) groups B_2 through B_12 are A161696-A161699, A161716, A161717, A161733, A161755, A161776, A161858. These are all rows of A128084. The growth series for the affine Coxeter (or Weyl) groups B_2 through B_12 are A008576, A008137, A267167-A267175.
