%F G.f.: 1 + sum(i>=1, x^(i*(i-1))/prod(j=1..i, 1-x^j)) - _Jon Perry_, Jul 04 2004

%F a(n) = A003114(n)+A003106(n). So this is the sum of the two famous Rogers-Ramanujan series. - _Vladeta Jovovic_, Jul 17 2004

%F G.f.: sum(n>=0,(q^(n^2)*(1+q^n)) / prod(k=1..n,1-q^k)). [_Joerg Arndt_, Oct 08 2012]

%F a(n) ~ (9+4*sqrt(5))^(1/4) * exp(2*Pi*sqrt(n/15)) / (2*3^(1/4)*sqrt(5)*n^(3/4)). - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Jan 02 2016

%Y The generalized Rogers-Ramanujan series G[1], G[2], G[3], G[4], G[5], G[6], G[7], G[8] are A003114, A003106, A006141, A264591, A264592, A264593, A264594, A264595. The present sequence, which is G[1]+G[2], plays the role of G[0].
