FORMULA
G.f.: 1/(2 - q/(1 - q*(q^2-1)/(2 - q^5/(1 - q^3*(q^4-1)/(2 - q^9/(1 - q^5*(q^6-1)/(2 - q^13/(1 - q^7*(q^8-1)/(2 - ...))))))))) where q = (1+x), a continued fraction due to a partial elliptic theta function identity. - Paul D. Hanna, Mar 18 2018
G.f.: Sum_{n>=0} 1/2^(n+1) * (1+x)^n * Product_{k=1..n} (2 - (1+x)^(4*k-3)) / (2 - (1+x)^(4*k-1)), due to a q-series identity. - Paul D. Hanna, Mar 18 2018
a(n) ~ 2^(2*n - 1/2 - log(2)/8) * n^n / (exp(n) * log(2)^(2*n + 1)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 21 2018
