This is Glaisher's function lambda(m). It appears to be defined only for odd m, and lambda(4t-1) = 0 (t >= 1), lambda(4t+1) = a(t) (t >= 0). - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 25 2018
Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).
Number 36 of the 74 eta-quotients listed in Table I of Martin (1996).
Dickson, v.2, p. 295 briefly states a result of Glaisher, 1883, pp 212-215. This result is that a(n) is the sum over all solutions of 16*n + 4 = x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 in nonnegative odd integers of chi(x) and is also the sum over all solutions of 8*n + 2 = x^2 + y^2 in nonnegative odd integers of chi(x) * chi(y) where chi(x) = x if x == 1 (mod 4) and -x if x == 3 (mod 4).

Denoted by g_3(q) in Cynk and Hulek on page 8 as the unique weight 3 Hecke eigenform of level 16 with complex multiplication by i. - Michael Somos, Aug 24 2012

FORMULA
Expansion of q^(-1/4)/16 * theta_2(q)^4 * theta_3(q) * theta_4(q) in powers of q. - [Dickson, v. 3, p. 134] from Stieltjes footnote 160. Michael Somos, Jun 18 2012
Expansion of q^(-1/2) / 4 * k * k' * (K / (pi/2))^3 in powers of q^2 where k, k', K are Jacobi elliptic functions. - Michael Somos, Jun 22 2012
G.f.: Product_{k>0}(1 - x^k)^6.
Given g.f. A(x), then A(q^4) = f(-q^4)^6 = phi(q) * phi(-q) * psi(q^2)^4 where phi(), psi(), f() are Ramanujan theta functions. - Michael Somos, Aug 23 2006
a(n) = b(4*n + 1) where b(n) is multiplicative with b(2^e) = 0^e, b(p^e) = p^e * (1 + (-1)^e) / 2 if p == 3 (mod 4), b(p^e) = b(p) * b(p^(e-1)) - b(p^(e-2)) * p^2 if p == 1 (mod 4) and b(p) = 2 * (x^2 - y^2) where p = x^2 + y^2 and y is even. - Michael Somos, Aug 23 2006
G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (16 t)) = 64 (t/i)^3 f(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t). - Michael Somos, Aug 24 2012
G.f.: Sum_{k>=0} a(k) * x^(4*k + 1) = (1/2) * Sum_{u,v in Z} (u*u - 4*v*v) * x^(u*u + 4*v*v). - Michael Somos, Jun 14 2007
G.f.: eta(x)^6 = Sum_{n>=0} (1+2n)^2*x^(n^2+n) + 2*Sum_{n>=0,k>=1} (1 + 4(n^2+n-k^2))*x^(n^2+n+k^2) - from the Milne and Leininger reference. [Paul D. Hanna, Mar 15 2010]
a(0) = 1, a(n) = -(6/n)*Sum_{k=1..n} A000203(k)*a(n-k) for n > 0. - Seiichi Manyama, Mar 26 2017
G.f.: exp(-6*Sum_{k>=1} x^k/(k*(1 - x^k))). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Feb 05 2018
Let M be a positive integer whose prime factors are all congruent to 3 (mod 4) - see A004614. Then a( M^2*n + (M^2 - 1)/4 ) = M^2*a(n). See Cooper et al., equation 5. - Peter Bala, Dec 01 2020
a(n) = b(4*n + 1) where b(n) is multiplicative with b(2^e) = 0^e, b(p^e) = p^e * (1 + (-1)^e) / 2 if p == 3 (mod 4), b(p^e) = ((x+y*i)^(2*e+2) - (x-y*i)^(2*e+2))/((x+y*i)^2 - (x-y*i)^2) if p == 1 (mod 4) where p = x^2 + y^2 and x is odd. - Jianing Song, Mar 19 2022
