FORMULA
G.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=1} a(n)*x^n satisfies the following formulas.
(1) Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * (x^n + A(x))^n = 1 + 3*Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^n * x^(n^2).
(2) Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^n * (x^n + A(x))^(n-1) = 1 + 3*Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^n * x^(n^2).
(3) Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^n * (x^n + A(x))^n = 0.
(4) Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(n^2) / (1 + A(x)*x^n)^n = 1 + 3*Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^n * x^(n^2).
(5) Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(n^2) / (1 + A(x)*x^n)^(n+1) = 1 + 3*Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^n * x^(n^2).
(6) Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(n*(n+1)) / (1 + A(x)*x^n)^(n+1) = 0.
