Table of n, a(n) for n=0..84.

Formula

a(n) = [q^n] Product_{j>0} Product_{n>0} (1 - (-1)^n*q^(n*j^r)) / (1 + (-1)^n*q^(n*j^r)) with r = 3 (see Proposition 1.1 in Zhou and Sun).

Example

a(9) = 6 since there are 6 integer solutions to 1^3*k1^2 + 2^3*k2^2 + ... = 9:
k1 = +-3 and k_j = 0 for j > 1;
k1 = -1, k2 = +-1 and k_j = 0 for j > 2;
k1 = 1, k2 = +-1 and k_j = 0 for j > 2.
