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 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
It appears that this sequence contains only finitely many nonpositive terms, namely at indices {2, 4, 8, 11, 13, 17, 19, 34}. - Gus Wiseman, Jan 23 2019

FORMULA
a(n) ~ c^(1/4) * exp(sqrt(c*n)) / (2*sqrt(3*Pi)*n^(3/4)), where c = Pi^2/3 + 2*log(2)^2 + 4*polylog(2, -1/2) = 2.4571173338382709125... .
a(n) = Sum_{k = 0...n} (-1)^k * A133121(n,k). - Gus Wiseman, Jan 23 2019
G.f.: Product_{k>=1} (1 - Sum_{j>=1} (-1)^j * x^(k*j)). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Nov 06 2019
