%C This is essentially the q-expansion of the Jacobi theta function theta_2(q). (In theta_2 one has to ignore the initial factor of 2*q^(1/4) and then replace q by q^(1/2). See also A005369.) - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Aug 03 2014

%C Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).

%C Ramanujan's theta function f(a, b) = Sum_{n=-inf..inf} a^(n*(n+1)/2) * b^(n*(n-1)/2).

%F G.f.: theta_2(sqrt(q)) / (2 * q^(1/8)).

%F a(n) = A035214(n) - 1.

%F From _Mikael Aaltonen_, Jan 22 2015: (Start)

%F Since the characteristic function of s-gonal numbers is given by floor(sqrt(2n/(s-2) + ((s-4)/(2s-4))^2) + (s-4)/(2s-4)) - floor(sqrt(2(n-1)/(s-2) + ((s-4)/(2s-4))^2) + (s-4)/(2s-4)), by setting s = 3 we get the following: For n > 0, a(n) = floor(sqrt(2*n+1/4)-1/2) - floor(sqrt(2*(n-1)+1/4)-1/2).

%F (End)

%F a(n) = (-1)^n * A106459(n). - _Michael Somos_, May 04 2016

%F G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (16 t)) = 2^(-1/2) (t/i)^(1/2) g(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t) and g() is the g.f. for A002448. - _Michael Somos_, May 05 2016

%F G.f.: Sum_{n >= 0} x^(n*(n+1)/2) = Product_{n >= 1} (1 - x^n)*(1 + x^n)^2 = Product_{n >= 1} (1 - x^(2*n))*(1 + x^n) = Product_{n >= 1} (1 - x^(2*n))/(1 - x^(2*n-1)). From the sum and product representations of theta_2(0, sqrt(q))/(2*q^(1/8))) function. The last product, given by _Vladeta Jovovic_ above, is obtained from the second to last one by an Euler identity, proved via f(x) := Product_{n >= 1} (1 - x^(2*n-1))*Product_{n >= 1} (1 + x^n) = f(x^2), by moving the odd-indexed factors of the second product to the first product. This leads to f(x) = f(0) = 1. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jul 05 2016

%F a(0) = 1, a(n) = (1/n)*Sum_{k=1..n} A002129(k)*a(n-k) for n > 0. - _Seiichi Manyama_, Apr 08 2017
