Consider the set { 1,2,3,...,n }. Sequence gives number of ways this set can be partitioned into 2 subsets with equal sums. For example, when n = 7, { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7} can be partitioned in 4 ways: {1,6,7} {2,3,4,5}; {2,5,7} {1,3,4,6}; {3,4,7} {1,2,5,6} and {1,2,4,7} {3,5,6}. - sorin (yamba_ro(AT)yahoo.com), Mar 24 2007
The "equal sums" of Sorin's comment are the positive terms of A074378 (Even triangular numbers halved). In the current sequence a(n) <> 0 iff n is the positive index (A014601) of an even triangular number (A014494). - Rick L. Shepherd, Feb 09 2010
a(n) is the number of partitions of n(n-3)/4 into distinct parts not exceeding n-1. - Alon Amit, Oct 18 2017
a(n) is the coefficient of x^(n*(n+1)/4-1) of Product_{k=2..n} (1+x^k). - Jianing Song, Nov 19 2021

FORMULA
|
a(n) is half the coefficient of q^0 in product('(q^(-k)+q^k)', 'k'=1..n) for n >= 1. - Floor van Lamoen, Oct 10 2005
a(n) = [x^n] Product_{k=1..n-1} (x^k + 1/x^k). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Feb 01 2024

EXAMPLE
|
1+2-3=0, so a(3)=1;
1-2-3+4=0, so a(4)=1;
1+2-3+4-5-6+7=0, 1+2-3-4+5+6-7=0, 1-2+3+4-5+6-7=0, 1-2-3-4-5+6+7=0, so a(7)=4.
