COMMENTS
By Theorem 1 of Craig, the values a(n) in this list are known to be nonnegative. Combined with Theorem 2 of Seo and Yee, this shows that a(n) = |number of partitions of n into odd parts with an odd index minus the number of partitions of n into odd parts with an even index|. - William Craig, Dec 31 2021

FORMULA
O.g.f.: Product_{n >= 0} 1/(1 - (-1)^n x^(2n+1)).
a(n) = Sum (-1)^k where the sum is over all integer partitions of n into odd parts and k is the number of parts not congruent to 1 modulo 4.
a(n) has average order Gamma(1/4) * exp(sqrt(n/3)*Pi/2) / (2^(9/4) * 3^(1/8) * Pi^(3/4) * n^(5/8)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 04 2019
