COMMENTS
A162552 forms the l.g.f. of log[ Sum_{n>=0} x^(n^2) ], and
A038500(n) is the highest power of 3 dividing n.
The first negative term is a(43) = -162729.

EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(q) = 1 + 3*q + 3*q^2 + 3*q^3 + 9*q^4 + 12*q^5 + 12*q^6 +...
log(A(q)) = 3*q - 3*q^2/2 + 9*q^3/3 + 9*q^4/4 - 12*q^5/5 + 45*q^6/6 - 18*q^7/7 +...
Compare to: q - q^2/2 + q^3/3 + 3*q^4/4 - 4*q^5/5 + 5*q^6/6 - 6*q^7/7 +...
which equals log( Sum_{n>=0} q^(n^2) ) as described by A162552.
PROG
