Formula

a(n) is multiplicative with a(2^e) = -1 if e>0, a(p^e) = ((p^2)^(e+1) - 1) / (p^2 - 1) if p == 1 (mod 4), a(p^e) = ((-p^2)^(e+1) - 1) / ( -p^2 - 1) if p == 3 (mod 4).

G.f.: Sum_{k>0} -(-1)^k * (2*k-1)^2 * x^(2*k-1) / (1 + x^(2*k-1)).

a(2*n) = (-1)^n * a(n).

4 * a(n) = A138504(n) unless n=0.

a(n) = -(-1)^n * A002173(n). - Michael Somos, Sep 25 2015

Example

G.f. = q - q^2 - 8*q^3 - q^4 + 26*q^5 + 8*q^6 - 48*q^7 - q^8 + 73*q^9 + ...

Mathematica
