FORMULA

a(n) = b(3n + 1) where b(n) is multiplicative and b(p^(2e)) = (-1)^e if p = 5 (mod 6), b(p^(2e)) = +1 if p = 1 (mod 6) and b(p^(2e-1)) = b(2^e) = b(3^e) = 0 if e>0.

a(4*n + 2) = a(4*n + 3) = a(8*n + 4) = 0.

G.f.: Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^k * x^(3*k^2 + 2*k) * ( 1 + x^(2*k+1) ).

EXAMPLE

q + q^4 - q^16 - q^25 + q^49 + q^64 - q^100 - q^121 + q^169 + q^196 + ...

PROG

(PARI) {a(n) = if( issquare( 3*n + 1, &n), (-1)^(n \ 3) )}
