COMMENTS
The g.f. of A292929 is R(x,q) = sqrt( Q(x,q) / Q(x,-q) ), where Q(x,q) = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (x - q^n)^n; the g.f. of this sequence equals the limit of the coefficient of x^n in R(x,q) / q^n as a power series in q.

FORMULA
G.f.: A(q) = 2 - 4*q + 8*q^2 - 12*q^3 + 24*q^4 - 32*q^5 + 64*q^6 - 68*q^7 + 152*q^8 - 120*q^9 + 392*q^10 - 124*q^11 + 1000*q^12 + 320*q^13 + 3056*q^14 + 2836*q^15 + 10280*q^16 + 15112*q^17 + 38668*q^18 +...
Let R(x,q) be the g.f. of A292929, then we can illustrate the g.f. of this sequence as follows.
The coefficient of x^4 in R(x,q) begins:
2*q^4 - 4*q^5 + 8*q^6 - 12*q^7 + 24*q^8 - 40*q^9 + 38*q^10 +...
The coefficient of x^5 in R(x,q) begins:
2*q^5 - 4*q^6 + 8*q^7 - 12*q^8 + 24*q^9 - 32*q^10 + 48*q^11 +...
The coefficient of x^6 in R(x,q) begins:
2*q^6 - 4*q^7 + 8*q^8 - 12*q^9 + 24*q^10 - 32*q^11 + 64*q^12 +...
The g.f. A(q) equals the limit of the coefficient if x^n in R(x,q)/q^n.
