FORMULA

Euler transform of period 16 sequence [ -1, 0, 1, 1, 1, -1, -1, -2, -1, -1, 1, 1, 1, 0, -1, -1, ...].

Pattern of signs of nonzero terms is A143431.

G.f.: Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^(k + [k/4]) * x^(k * (k+1) / 2).

q - q^9 + q^25 - q^49 - q^81 + q^121 - q^169 + q^225 + q^289 - q^361 + ...

PROG

(PARI) {a(n) = if( n<0, 0, if(issquare(8*n + 1, &n), n = n\2; (-1)^(n + n\4), 0))}

(PARI) {a(n) = local(A); if( n<0, 0, polcoeff( prod(k=1, n, (1 - x^k)^( [1, 1, 0, -1, -1, -1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, -1, -1, -1, 0, 1, 1] [k%16 + 1]), 1 + x * O(x^n)), n))}

CROSSREFS

(-1)^n * A143434(n) = a(n).
