# Growth series for D_k, truncated to terms of order M. - N. J. A. Sloane, Aug 07 2021
f := proc(m::integer) (1-x^m)/(1-x) ; end proc:
g := proc(k,M) local a,i; global f;
a:=f(k)*mul(f(2*i),i=1..k-1);

end proc;

Mathematica

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 *)
x =.; n = 11; CoefficientList[ Product[1 - x^(2 k), {k, 1, n - 1}] (1 - x^n) /(1 - x)^n // Expand, x] (* Michael Somos, Aug 06 2021 *)

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.
