G.f. = - x - 2*x^2 - x^3 - x^4 + 2*x^5 + 4*x^7 + x^8 + 2*x^9 + x^10 + ...

Mathematica

Flatten[{0, CoefficientList[Series[-Sum[x^(n - 1)*(QPochhammer[x^(n + 1), x]^2/QPochhammer[x^(n), x]), {n, 1, 101}], {x, 0, 100}], x]}] (* Mats Granvik, Jan 05 2015 *)
a[ n_] := SeriesCoefficient[ Sum[ QPochhammer[ x] - QPochhammer[ x, x, k], {k, 0, n}], {x, 0, n}]; (* Michael Somos, Jan 07 2015 *)
a[ n_] := SeriesCoefficient[ -Sum[ QPochhammer[ x^k, x] x^k / (1 - x^k)^2, {k, n}], {x, 0, n}]; (* Michael Somos, Jan 07 2015 *)
