FORMULA

G.f.: -x / (Sum_{k>0} k * (-x)^k / (1 - (-x)^k)) = 1 / (log( f(x) )') where f(-x) = Product_{k>0} (1 - x^k) is one of Ramanujan's theta functions. - Michael Somos, Apr 08 2003

EXAMPLE

1 + 3*x + 5*x^2 + 10*x^3 + 25*x^4 + 64*x^5 + 160*x^6 + 390*x^7 + 940*x^8 + ...

MATHEMATICA

max = 28; f[x_] := -x / Sum[ k*(-x)^k/(1-(-x)^k), {k, 1, max+1}]; CoefficientList[ Series[ f[x], {x, 0, max}], x] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Nov 07 2011, after Michael Somos *)

PROG

(PARI) {a(n) = if( n<0, 0, polcoeff( 1 / log( eta( -x + x^2 * O(x^n)))', n))} /* Michael Somos Apr 05 2003 */
