Number of ways to write n as the sum of an odd number of consecutive integers. - Vladeta Jovovic, Aug 28 2007

Number of odd divisors of n less than sqrt(2*n). - Vladeta Jovovic, Sep 16 2007

Conjecture: a(n) is also the number of subparts in an octant of the symmetric representation of sigma(n). - Omar E. Pol, Feb 22 2017

Formula

G.f.: Sum_{k>0} x^(k*(2*k-1))/(1-x^(2*k-1)). - Vladeta Jovovic, Aug 25 2004

Conjecture: a(n) = A067742(n) + A131576(n). - Omar E. Pol, Feb 22 2017

Conjecture: a(n) = A001227(n) - A131576(n). - Omar E. Pol, Apr 18 2017

Example

For n=6: 6 has two ways -- (d=3; 3|6), 1+2+3=6; and (d=1; 1|6), 6=6 -- so a(6)=2.

Maple

N:= 1000: # to get a(1) to a(N)
g:= add(x^(k*(2*k-1))/(1-x^(2*k-1)), k=1..floor(sqrt(N/2))):
S:= series(g, x, N+1):
seq(coeff(S, x, n), n=1..N); # Robert Israel, Dec 08 2015

Prog

(PARI) a(n) = my(q = sqrt(2*n)); sumdiv(n, d, (d%2) && (d < q)); \\ Michel Marcus, Jul 04 2014
