COMMENTS

Not equal to exp(-4/9), which agrees with the first 16 decimal places. Related to Jacobi theta constant theta_2 and Dedekind's eta(x^2)^2/eta(x): Sum_{n>=0} x^(n*(n+1)/2) = 1.9873697... (A106334). This constant divided by constant A106334 equals constant A106335, the radius of convergence of the g.f. of A106336.

FORMULA

Sum_{n>=0} (1 - n*(n+1)/2)*x^(n*(n+1)/2) = 0.

EXAMPLE

0 = 1 - 2*x^3 - 5*x^6 - 9*x^10 - 14*x^15 - 20*x^21 - 27*x^28 - ...
