FORMULA
G.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=1} a(n)*x^n satisfies the following formulas.
Let Q(x) = 1 + 5*Sum_{n>=1} x^(n*(n+1)/2), then
(1) Q(x) = Sum_{n>=0} Product_{k=1..n} (x^k + 4*A(x)).
(2) Q(x) = Sum_{n>=0} x^(n*(n+1)/2) / Product_{k=0..n} (1 - x^k * 4*A(x)).
(3) Q(x) = 1/(1 - F(1)), where F(n) = (x^n + 4*A(x))/(1 + x^n + 4*A(x) - F(n+1)), a continued fraction.
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = x - 5*x^2 + 25*x^3 - 125*x^4 + 620*x^5 - 3055*x^6 + 14935*x^7 - 72320*x^8 + 346120*x^9 - 1632435*x^10 + 7555615*x^11 + ...
Let Q(x) = 1 + 5*Sum_{n>=1} x^(n*(n+1)/2)
then A = A(x) satisfies
(1) Q(x) = 1 + (x + 4*A) + (x + 4*A)*(x^2 + 4*A) + (x + 4*A)*(x^2 + 4*A)*(x^3 + 4*A) + (x + 4*A)*(x^2 + 4*A)*(x^3 + 4*A)*(x^4 + 4*A) + (x + 4*A)*(x^2 + 4*A)*(x^3 + 4*A)*(x^4 + 4*A)*(x^5 + 4*A) + ...
also
(2) Q(x) = 1/(1 - 4*A) + x/((1 - 4*A)*(1 - x*4*A)) + x^3/((1 - 4*A)*(1 - x*4*A)*(1 - x^2*4*A)) + x^6/((1 - 4*A)*(1 - x*4*A)*(1 - x^2*4*A)*(1 - x^3*4*A)) + x^10/((1 - 4*A)*(1 - x*4*A)*(1 - x^2*4*A)*(1 - x^3*4*A)*(1 - x^4*4*A)) + ...
Further, A = A(x) satisfies the continued fraction given by
(3) Q(x) = 1/(1 - (x + 4*A)/(1 + x + 4*A - (x^2 + 4*A)/(1 + x^2 + 4*A - (x^3 + 4*A)/(1 + x^3 + 4*A - (x^4 + 4*A)/(1 + x^4 + 4*A - (x^5 + 4*A)/(1 + x^5 + 4*A - (x^6 + 4*A)/(1 + x^6 + 4*A - (x^7 + 4*A)/(1 - ...)))))))).
where
Q(x) = 1 + 5*x + 5*x^3 + 5*x^6 + 5*x^10 + 5*x^15 + 5*x^21 + ... + 5*x^(n*(n+1)/2) + ...
