COMMENTS

G.f. A(x) at x=q is congruent modulo 3 to q-series (q;q)_oo.

FORMULA

Limit a(n)/a(n+1) = z = -0.1630599902691518961128975774567541135944... where A(z) = 0.

EXAMPLE

A(x) = 1 + 2*x - 4*x^2 + 15*x^3 - 60*x^4 + 268*x^5 -+...

= (1 - x - x^2 + x^5 + x^7 - x^12 - x^15 + x^22 +...) (mod 3).

A(x)^3 = 1 + 6*x + 5*x^3 + 2*x^6 + 0*x^10 + 7*x^15 + 4*x^21 +...

= (1 - 3*x + 5*x^3 - 7*x^6 + 9*x^10 - 11*x^15 +...) (mod 9).

Notation: q-series (q;q)_oo = Product_{n>=1} (1-q^n)

= 1 + Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^n*[q^(n*(3*n-1)/2) + q^(n*(3*n+1)/2)].

PROG

(PARI) {a(n)=polcoeff(sum(k=0, sqrtint(2*n+1), (((-1)^k*(2*k+1))%9)*x^(k*(k+1)/2)+x*O(x^n))^(1/3), n)}
