From Michael Somos, Sep 18 2004: (Start)
Given g.f. A(x), then B(x) = (x * A(x^2))^2 satisfies 0 = f(B(x), B(x^2), B(x^4)) where f(u, v, w) = v^3 + 4*u*v*w + 16*v*w^2 - 8*w*v^2 - w*u^2.
a(n) = b(2*n + 1) where b() is multiplicative with b(2^e) = 0^e, b(3^e) = 1, b(p^e) = (1 + (-1)^e) / 2 if p==5 (mod 6) otherwise b(p^e) = e+1. (Clarification: the g.f. A(x) is not the primary function of interest, but rather B(x) = x * A(x^2), which is an eta-quotient and is the generating function of a multiplicative sequence.)
G.f.: (Sum_{j>0} x^((j^2 - j) / 2)) * (Sum_{k>0} x^(3(k^2 - k) / 2)) = Product_{k>0} (1 + x^k) * (1 - x^(2*k)) * (1 + x^(3*k)) * (1 - x^(6*k)).
G.f.: Sum_{k>=0} a(k) * x^(2*k + 1) = Sum_{k>0} x^k * (1 - x^k) * (1 - x^(4*k)) * (1 - x^(5*k)) / (1 - x^(12*k)). (End)
G.f.: s(4)^2*s(12)^2/(s(2)*s(6)), where s(k) := subs(q=q^k, eta(q)), where eta(q) is Dedekind's function, cf. A010815. [Fine]
G.f.: Sum_{k>=0} a(k) * x^(2*k + 1) = Sum_{k>0} x^k / (1 + x^k + x^(2*k)) - x^(4*k) / (1 + x^(4*k) + x^(8*k)). - Michael Somos, Nov 04 2005
a(n) = A002324(2*n + 1) = A035178(2*n + 1) = A091393(2*n + 1) = A093829(2*n + 1) = A096936(2*n + 1) = A112298(2*n + 1) = A113447(2*n + 1) = A113661(2*n + 1) = A113974(2*n + 1) = A115979(2*n + 1) = A122860(2*n + 1) = A123331(2*n + 1) = A123484(2*n + 1) = A136748(2*n + 1) = A137608(2*n + 1). A005881(n) = 2*a(n).
6 * a(n) = A004016(6*n + 3). - Michael Somos, Mar 06 2016
Asymptotic mean: Limit_{m->oo} (1/m) * Sum_{k=1..m} a(k) = Pi/(2*sqrt(3)) = 0.906899... (A093766). - Amiram Eldar, Nov 23 2023
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 + x + 2*x^3 + x^4 + 2*x^6 + 2*x^9 + 2*x^10 + x^12 + x^13 + 2*x^15 + ...
G.f. = q + q^3 + 2*q^7 + q^9 + 2*q^13 + 2*q^19 + 2*q^21 + q^25 + q^27 + 2*q^31 + ...
a(6) = 2 since 8*6 + 4 = 52 = 5^2 + 3*3^2 = 7^2 + 3*1^2.
