Also number of symmetric unimodal consecutive integer sequences that sum to the integer n (e.g., 4+5+6+5+4 = 24 = n). Also number of double trapezoidal arrangements of n objects, denoted SDT(n); i.e., the number of ways to arrange n objects into symmetrically-placed, congruent isosceles trapezoids adjoined at overlapping largest bases.
Also number of divisors of 4*n-1 of form 4*k+1 (or 4*k+3). - Vladeta Jovovic, Jan 05 2004. Therefore a(n) is one half of the number of divisors of A004767(n-1) (numbers 3 (mod 4)). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 29 2016

FORMULA

a(n) = ((r1 + 1)*(r2 + 1)*...*(rk + 1))/2, where ((p1^r1)*(p2^r2)*...*(pk^rk)) is the factorization of 4*n - 1 into (odd) primes.
G.f.: Sum_{n >= 1} x^(3*n-2)/(1 - x^(4*n-3)). - Peter Bala, Jan 08 2021
Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) = (log(n) + 2*gamma - 1 + 4*log(2))*n/4 + O(n^(1/3)*log(n)), where gamma is Euler's constant (A001620). (End)
G.f.: Sum_{n >= 1} x^(n^2)/(1-x^(2*n-1)) (conjecture). - Joerg Arndt, Jan 04 2024

EXAMPLE

SDT(34) = 4 since we have 34 or 11+12+11 or 6+7+8+7+6 or 2+3+4+5+6+5+4+3+2, Also 4*34 - 1 = 135 = (3^3)*(5^1) so that r1=3 and r2=1 (p1=3 and p2=5), resulting in SDT(34) = (3+1)*(1+1)/2 = 4.
a(4) = 2 since 4 = 2^2 - 2*0 = 4^2 - 2*6. Also A034178(4*4 - 1) = 2 since 15 = 4^2 - 1^2 = 8^2 - 7^2. - Michael Somos, May 11 2011
G.f. = x + x^2 + x^3 + 2*x^4 + x^5 + x^6 + 2*x^7 + x^8 + 2*x^9 + 2*x^10 + x^11 + ...
Number of divisors of numbers 3 (mod 4) (see the Jovovic Jan 05 2004 comment): a(16) = 3 from the 2*3 = 6 divisors [1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 63] of 63 = A004767(15), being 1, -1, -1, 1, 1, -1 (mod 4). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 29 2016

(* This defines SDT(n): *)
SDT[n_] := Length[Cases[Range[1, n], j_ /; Cases[Range[1, j], k_ /; Plus @@ Join[Range[k, j], Range[j - 1, k, -1]] == n] != {}]] The restricted factorization technique for obtaining SDT(n) is encoded as follows: SDT[n_] := (Times @@ Cases[FactorInteger[4 n - 1], {p_, r_} -> r + 1])/2
