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.

MAPLE

A162208g := proc(m::integer)

    (1-x^m)/(1-x) ;

end proc:

A162208 := proc(n, k)

    g := A162208g(k);

    for m from 2 to 2*k-2 by 2 do

        g := g*A162208g(m) ;

    end do:

    g := expand(g) ;

    coeftayl(g, x=0, n) ;

end proc:

MATHEMATICA

n = 5;

x = y + y O[y]^(n^2);

(1-x^n) Product[1-x^(2k), {k, 1, n-1}]/(1-x)^n // CoefficientList[#, y]& (* Jean-François Alcover, Mar 25 2020, from A162206 *)
