FORMULA

a(n) = b(24n + 1) where b(n) is multiplicative and b(p^(2e)) = (-1)^e if p = 5 (mod 6), b(p^(2e)) = +1 if p = 1 (mod 6) and b(p^(2e-1)) = b(2^e) = b(3^e) = 0 if e>0.

G.f.: Sum_{k>=0} x^((3*k^2 + k) / 2) * (1 - x^(2*k + 1)) = 1 - Sum_{k>0} x^((3*k^2 - k) / 2) * (1 - x^k).

G.f.: 1 - x / (1 + x) + x^3 / ((1 + x) * (1 + x^2)) - x^6 / ((1 + x) * (1 + x^2) * (1 + x^3)) + ...

EXAMPLE

q - q^25 + q^49 - q^121 + q^169 - q^289 + q^361 - q^529 + q^625 - q^841 + ...

PROGRAM
