Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).
For n >= 1, a(n)/3 is a weighted count of overpartitions with restricted odd differences. Namely, the number of overpartitions of n counted with weight (-1)^(the largest part) and such that: (i) the difference between successive parts may be odd only if the larger part is overlined and (ii) the smallest part of the overpartition is odd and overlined. - Jeremy Lovejoy, Aug 07 2015

FORMULA
Expansion of chi(-q)^3 / chi(-q^3) in powers of q where chi() is a Ramanujan theta function.
Expansion of eta(q)^3 * eta(q^6) / (eta(q^2)^3 * eta(q^3)) in powers of q.
Euler transform of period 6 sequence [ -3, 0, -2, 0, -3, 0, ...].
G.f.: Product_{k>0} (1 - x^(2*k-1))^3 / (1 - x^(6*k-3)).
G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^2)) where f(u, v) = v^2 - u * (2 - u*v).
G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^3)) where f(u, v) = u * (u^2 - 2*u + 4) - v^3 * (u^2 + u + 1).
G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^2), A(x^3), A(x^6)) where f(u1, u2, u3, u6) = u1 * (u6^2 - u2 * u3) - u6 * (u3^2 - u6*u2).
G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (18 t)) = 2 g(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t) and g() is the g.f. for A092848.
Convolution inverse of A128128.
Empirical: Sum_{n>=1} exp(-Pi)^(n-1)*(-1)^(n+1)*a(n) = (-2+2*3^(1/2))^(1/3). - Simon Plouffe, Feb 20 2011
a(n) ~ (-1)^n * exp(2*Pi*sqrt(n)/3) / (2*sqrt(3)*n^(3/4)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 16 2017
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 - 3*q + 3*q^2 - 3*q^3 + 6*q^4 - 9*q^5 + 12*q^6 - 15*q^7 + 21*q^8 + ...
