FORMULA
G.f.: exp( Sum_{n>=1} -3 * sigma(n) * A002203(n) * x^n/n ).
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 - 6*x - 9*x^2 + 70*x^3 + 90*x^4 - 1411*x^6 - 1722*x^7 +...
-log(A(x))/3 = 1*2*x + 3*6*x^2/2 + 4*14*x^3/3 + 7*34*x^4/4 + 6*82*x^5/5 + 12*198*x^6/6 +...+ sigma(n)*A002203(n)*x^n/n +...
The g.f. equals the product:
A(x) = (1-2*x-x^2)^3 * (1-6*x^2+x^4)^3 * (1-14*x^3-x^6)^3 * (1-34*x^4+x^8)^3 * (1-82*x^5-x^10)^3 * (1-198*x^6+x^12)^3 *...* (1 - A002203(n)*x^n + (-1)^n*x^(2*n))^3 *...
Positions of zeros form A020757:
[5,8,14,17,19,23,26,32,33,35,40,41,44,47,50,52,53,54,59,62,63,...].
