FORMULA
Euler transform of period 16 sequence [ -2, -1, -1, -1, -1, -2, -2, -2, -2, -2, -1, -1, -1, -1, -2, -2, ...].
a(n) = A030204(2*n).
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 - 2*x + x^3 + x^5 - 2*x^6 + 2*x^7 - 2*x^12 - x^14 - 2*x^15 + ...
G.f. = q - 2*q^17 + q^49 + q^81 - 2*q^97 + 2*q^113 - 2*q^193 - q^225 + ...
MATHEMATICA
