FORMULA
G.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n may be obtained from the following expressions; here, C(x) = 1 + x*C(x)^2 is the g.f. of the Catalan numbers (A000108).
(1) A(x) = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} x^(n^2) * C(x)^(6*n-9).
(2) A(x) = 1/C(x)^9 * Product_{n>=1} (1 + x^(2*n-1)*C(x)^6) * (1 + x^(2*n-1)/C(x)^6) * (1 - x^(2*n)), by the Jacobi triple product identity.
(3) A(x) = 1/C(x)^9 + Sum_{n>=1} x^(n^2) * (C(x)^(6*n-9) + 1/C(x)^(6*n+9)).
