The problem presents a generating function $GF_n^{(s)}(x)$ and asks to find a closed-form expression for it, denoted as $W^{(s)}(x,t)$, after performing some calculations. The expression for $GF_n^{(s)}(x)$ is given in terms of $\alpha^s(x)$, $\beta^s(x)$, and $t$. The final result is given as $W^{(s)}(x,t) = \frac{(-1)^s (-i + (iL_s(x) + (-1)^s) t)}{1 - L_s(x) t + (-1)^s t^2}$.
