FORMULA
G.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n satisfies the following.
(1) x = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} x^(n*(3*n+1)/2) * (A(x)^(3*n) - 1/A(x)^(3*n+1)).
(2) x = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} x^(n*(3*n-1)/2) * A(x)^(3*n) * (x^n - 1/A(x)).
(3) x = Product_{n>=1} (1 - x^n) * (1 - x^n*A(x)) * (1 - x^(n-1)/A(x)) * (1 - x^(2*n-1)*A(x)^2) * (1 - x^(2*n-1)/A(x)^2), by the Watson quintuple product identity.
a(n) ~ c * d^n / n^(3/2), where d = 7.388458151593... and c = 0.36167254645... - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 19 2023
Formula (3) can be rewritten as the functional equation x = QPochhammer(x) * QPochhammer(y, x)/(1 - y) * QPochhammer(1/(x*y), x)/(1 - 1/(x*y)) * QPochhammer(y^2/x, x^2)/(1 - y^2/x) * QPochhammer(1/(x*y^2), x^2)/(1 - 1/(x*y^2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jan 19 2024
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + 6*x^2 + 29*x^3 + 137*x^4 + 690*x^5 + 3815*x^6 + 22579*x^7 + 138353*x^8 + 862692*x^9 + 5451339*x^10 + 34911444*x^11 + 226475135*x^12 + ...
where A = A(x) satisfies the doubly infinite sum
x = ... + x^12*(1/A^9 - A^8) + x^5*(1/A^6 - A^5) + x*(1/A^3 - A^2) + (1 - 1/A) + x^2*(A^3 - 1/A^4) + x^7*(A^6 - 1/A^7) + x^15*(A^9 - 1/A^10) + ... + x^(n*(3*n+1)/2) * (A(x)^(3*n) - 1/A(x)^(3*n+1)) + ...
also, by the Watson quintuple product identity,
x = (1-x)*(1-x*A)*(1-1/A)*(1-x*A^2)*(1-x/A^2) * (1-x^2)*(1-x^2*A)*(1-x/A)*(1-x^3*A^2)*(1-x^3/A^2) * (1-x^3)*(1-x^3*A)*(1-x^2/A)*(1-x^5*A^2)*(1-x^5/A^2) * (1-x^4)*(1-x^4*A)*(1-x^3/A)*(1-x^7*A^2)*(1-x^7/A^2) * ...
