FORMULA
Expansion of (phi(q) - phi(q^6)) / 2 in powers of q where phi() is a Ramanujan theta function.
G.f.: (theta_3(q) - theta_3(q^6)) / 2 = Sum_{k>0} x^(k^2) - x^(6*k^2).
a(3*n) = A089801(n). a(3*n + 2) = 0.
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ c*sqrt(n), where c = 1 - 1/sqrt(6) = 0.5917517... . - Amiram Eldar, Oct 24 2023
EXAMPLE
G.f. = q + q^4 - q^6 + q^9 + q^16 - q^24 + q^25 + q^36 + q^49 - q^54 + ...
