Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).
For n > 0, also the number of partitions of n whose greatest part is even. [Edited by Gus Wiseman, Jan 05 2021]
Number of partitions of n+1 into an odd number of parts, the least being 1.
Also the number of partitions of n such that the number of even parts has the same parity as the number of odd parts; see Comments at A027193. - Clark Kimberling, Feb 01 2014, corrected Jan 06 2021
Suppose that c(0) = 1, that c(1), c(2), ... are indeterminates, that d(0) = 1, and that d(n) = -c(n) - c(n-1)*d(1) - ... - c(0)*d(n-1). When d(n) is expanded as a polynomial in c(1), c(2),..,c(n), the terms are of the form H*c(i_1)*c(i_2)*...*c(i_k). Let P(n) = [c(i_1), c(i_2), ..., c(i_k)], a partition of n. Then H is negative if P has an odd number of parts, and H is positive if P has an even number of parts. That is, d(n) has A027193(n) negative coefficients, A027187(n) positive coefficients, and A000041 terms. The maximal coefficient in d(n), in absolute value, is A102462(n). - Clark Kimberling, Dec 15 2016

FORMULA
a(n) = p(n) - p(n-1) + p(n-4) - p(n-9) + ... where p(n) is the number of unrestricted partitions of n, A000041. [Fine] - David Callan, Mar 14 2004

G.f.: A(q) = Sum_{n >= 0} a(n) q^n = 1 + q^2 + q^3 + 3 q^4 + 3 q^5 + 6 q^6 + ...
= Sum_{n >= 0} q^(2n)/(q; q)_{2n}
= ((Product_{k >= 1} 1/(1-q^k) + (Product_{k >= 1} 1/(1+q^k))/2.
Also, let B(q) = Sum_{n >= 0} A027193(n) q^n = q + q^2 + 2 q^3 + 2 q^4 + 4 q^5 + 5 q^6 + ...
Then B(q) = Sum_{n >= 0} q^(2n+1)/(q; q)_{2n+1} = ((Product_{k >= 1} 1/(1-q^k) - (Product_{k >= 1} 1/(1+q^k))/2.
Also we have the following identity involving 2 X 2 matrices:
Product_{k >= 1} [ 1/(1-q^2k) q^k/(1-q^2k / q^k/(1-q^2k) 1/(1-q^2k) ]
= [ A(q) B(q) / B(q) A(q) ]. (End)
a(2*n) = A046682(2*n), a(2*n+1) = A000701(2*n+1); a(n) = A000041(n)-A027193(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 22 2006
