From Peter Bala, Apr 05 2023: (Start)
G.f.: A(x) = Product_{k >= 1} C(k,x^(2*k)) / C(k,x^k) = Product_{k >= 1} C(2*k,x^k) / C(4*k,x^k) = -Product_{k >= 1} C(k,x^(2*k)) * C(2*k,x^k), where C(k,x) denotes the k-th cyclotomic polynomial.
Conjecture: A(x^2) = Product_{k >= 1} C(k,x^k) * C(k,(-x)^k). (End)
