COMMENTS
Compare the g.f. to the sum:
Sum_{n>=1} Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) * y^k * (x^n - y)^(n-k) = Sum_{n>=1} x^(n^2).

FORMULA
The g.f. also equals the following sums (ignoring the constant terms):
(1) Sum_{n>=1} Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) * x^(n*(n-k)) * (x^k - 1)^k.
(2) Sum_{n>=1} Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k) * x^(n*k) * (x^(n-k) - 1)^(n-k).
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 2*x - 4*x^2 + 8*x^3 - 6*x^4 + 4*x^5 - 18*x^6 + 32*x^7 - 4*x^8 - 64*x^10 + 52*x^11 + 4*x^12 + 52*x^13 - 70*x^14 + 106*x^15 - 124*x^16 - 78*x^17 - 148*x^18 + 358*x^19 + 130*x^20 + 132*x^21 - 490*x^22 + 178*x^23 - 328*x^24 + 120*x^25 - 268*x^26 + 424*x^27 - 214*x^28 + 828*x^29 - 522*x^30 +...
