Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 60th year, we have over 367,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
Motivated by Peter Bala's identity described in A158690:
Sum_{n>=0} Product_{k=1..n} (q^k - 1) =
Sum_{n>=0} q^(-n^2) * Product_{k=1..n} (q^(2*k-1) - 1),
here q = (1+x)/(1+x^2). See cross-references for other examples.
At present Bala's identity is conjectural and needs formal proof.

FORMULA
G.f.: Sum_{n>=0} q^(-n^2) * Product_{k=1..n} (q^(2*k-1) - 1) where q = (1+x)/(1+x^2). [Based on Peter Bala's conjecture in A158690]
a(n) ~ c * 12^n * n! / Pi^(2*n), where c = 6*sqrt(2) / (Pi^2 * exp(Pi^2/8)) = 0.250367043877216848533826021231826... . - Vaclav Kotesovec, May 06 2014, updated Aug 22 2017
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + x^2 + 2*x^3 + 11*x^4 + 74*x^5 + 557*x^6 + 4799*x^7 +...
Let q = (1+x)/(1+x^2), then
A(x) = 1 + (q-1) + (q-1)*(q^2-1) + (q-1)*(q^2-1)*(q^3-1) + (q-1)*(q^2-1)*(q^3-1)*(q^4-1) + (q-1)*(q^2-1)*(q^3-1)*(q^4-1)*(q^5-1) +...
which also is proposed to equal:
A(x) = 1 + (q-1)/q + (q-1)*(q^3-1)/q^4 + (q-1)*(q^3-1)*(q^5-1)/q^9 + (q-1)*(q^3-1)*(q^5-1)*(q^7-1)/q^16 + (q-1)*(q^3-1)*(q^5-1)*(q^7-1)*(q^9-1)/q^25 +...
PROG
(PARI) {a(n)=local(A=1+x, q=(1+x)/(1+x^2 +x*O(x^n))); A=sum(m=0, n, prod(k=1, m, (q^k-1))); polcoeff(A, n)}
(PARI) {a(n)=local(A=1+x, q=(1+x)/(1+x^2 +x*O(x^n))); A=sum(m=0, n, q^(-m^2)*prod(k=1, m, (q^(2*k-1)-1))); polcoeff(A, n)}
for(n=0, 25, print1(a(n), ", "))
