COMMENTS

This is essentially the q-expansion of the Jacobi theta function theta_2(q). (In theta_2 one has to ignore the initial factor of 2*q^(1/4). See also A010054.) - N. J. A. Sloane, Aug 03 2014

For n > 0, a(n) is the number of partitions of n into two parts such that the larger part is equal to the square of the smaller part. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Dec 23 2020

FORMULA

Expansion of q^(-1/4) * eta(q^4)^2 / eta(q^2) in powers of q.

Euler transform of period 4 sequence [ 0, 1, 0, -1, ...].

G.f.: Product_{k>0} (1 - x^(4*k)) / (1 - x^(4*k-2)) = f(x^2, x^6) where f(, ) is Ramanujan's general theta function.

Given g.f. A(x), then B(q) = (q*A(q^4))^2 satisfies 0 = f(B(q), B(q^2), B(q^4)) where f(u, v, w) = v^3 + 4*v*w^2 - u^2*w. - Michael Somos, Apr 13 2005

Given g.f. A(x), then B(q) = q*A(q^4) satisfies 0 = f(B(q), B(q^2), B(q^3), B(q^6)) where f(u1, u2, u3, u6) = u1*u2^2*u6 - u1*u6^3 - u3^3*u2. - Michael Somos, Apr 13 2005

a(n) = b(4*n + 1) where b() = A098108() is multiplicative and b(2^e) = 0^e, b(p^e) = (1 + (-1)^e)/2 if p>2. - Michael Somos, Jun 06 2005

G.f.: 1/2 x^{-1/4}theta_2(0,x), where theta_2 is a Jacobi theta function. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Jun 29 2009

a(A002378(n)) = 1; a(A078358(n)) = 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 05 2014

a(n) = floor(sqrt(n+1)+1/2)-floor(sqrt(n)+1/2). - Mikael Aaltonen, Jan 02 2015

a(2*n) = A010054(n).

a(n) = A000729(n)(mod 2). - John M. Campbell, Jul 16 2016

For n > 0, a(n) = Sum_{k=1..floor(n/2)} [k^2 = n-k], where [ ] is the Iverson bracket. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Dec 23 2020

EXAMPLE

G.f. = 1 + x^2 + x^6 + x^12 + x^20 + x^30 + x^42 + x^56 + x^72 + x^90 + ...

G.f. = q + q^9 + q^25 + q^49 + q^81 + q^121 + q^169 + q^225 + q^289 + ...
