Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).
Number of partitions of n into distinct parts, with 2 types of each part. E.g., for n=4, we consider k and k* to be different versions of k and so we have 4, 4*, 31, 31*, 3*1, 3*1*, 22*, 211*, 2*11*, thus a(4)=9. - Jon Perry, Apr 04 2004
Number of partitions of n into odd parts, each part being of two kinds. E.g., a(3)=6 because we have 3, 3', 1+1+1, 1+1+1', 1+1'+1', 1'+1'+1'. - Emeric Deutsch, Mar 22 2005
Euler transform of period 2 sequence [2,0,2,0,...]. - Emeric Deutsch, Mar 22 2005
The sum of the least gaps in all partitions of n. The "least gap" of a partition is the least positive integer that is not a part of the partition. Example: a(4) = 9 because the least gaps in [4], [3,1], [2,2], [2,1,1], and [1,1,1,1] are 1, 2, 1, 3, and 2, respectively. - Emeric Deutsch, May 18 2015
Number of 2-regular bipartitions of n. - N. J. A. Sloane, Oct 20 2019
The least gap is also known as the minimal excludant or mex; see Andrews and Newman. - George Beck, Dec 10 2020

FORMULA
a(n) = p(n)+p(n-1)+p(n-3)+p(n-6)+...+p(n-k*(k+1)/2)+..., where p() is A000041(). E.g. a(8) = p(8)+p(7)+p(5)+p(2) = 22+15+7+2 = 46. - Vladeta Jovovic, Aug 09 2004
Expansion of q^(-1/12) * (eta(q^2) / eta(q))^2 in powers of q. - Michael Somos, Apr 27 2008
Expansion of chi(-q)^(-2) in powers of q where chi() is a Ramanujan theta function. - Michael Somos, Apr 27 2008
G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (288 t)) = (1/2) g(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t) and g() is the g.f. for A022597. - Michael Somos, Apr 27 2008
G.f.: Product_{k>0} (1 + x^k)^2.
Parity result: a(n) is even except when n is twice a generalized pentagonal number (i.e., of the form 2*A001318(m) for some m). - Peter Bala, Mar 19 2009
a(n) ~ exp(Pi * sqrt(2*n/3)) / (4 * 6^(1/4) * n^(3/4)) * (1 + (Pi/(12*sqrt(6)) - 3*sqrt(3/2)/(8*Pi)) / sqrt(n) + (Pi^2/1728 - 45/(256*Pi^2) - 5/64)/n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 05 2015, extended Jan 22 2017
a(0) = 1, a(n) = (2/n)*Sum_{k=1..n} A000593(k)*a(n-k) for n > 0. - Seiichi Manyama, Apr 03 2017
G.f.: exp(2*Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^(k+1)*x^k/(k*(1 - x^k))). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Feb 06 2018

G.f. = q + 2*q^13 + 3*q^25 + 6*q^37 + 9*q^49 + 14*q^61 + 22*q^73 + 32*q^85 + ...
