Euler transform of period 2 sequence [ 4, 2, ...].
The Cayley reference actually is to A004403. - Michael Somos, Feb 24 2011
Number of overpartition pairs, see Lovejoy reference. - _Joerg Arndt, Apr 03 2011
In general, if g.f. = Product_{k>=1} ((1+x^k)/(1-x^k))^m and m>=1, then a(n) ~ exp(Pi*sqrt(m*n)) * m^((m+1)/4) / (2^(3*(m+1)/2) * n^((m+3)/4)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 17 2015
