%F A002448 From _Peter Bala_, Feb 19 2021: (Start)
%F A002448 G.f: A(q) = eta(q^2)^5 / ( eta(-q)*eta(q^4) )^2.
%F A002448 A(q) = 1 + 2*Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^n*q^(n*(n+1)/2)/( (1 + q^n) * Product_{k = 1..n} 1 - q^k ).
%F A002448 A(-q)^2 = 1 + 4*Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)*q^(2*n-1)/(1 - q^(2*n-1)), which gives the number of representations of an integer as a sum of two squares. See, for example, Fine, 26.63.
%F A002448 The unsigned sequence has the g.f. 1 + 2*Sum_{n >= 1} q^(n*(n+1)/2) * ( Product_{k = 1..n-1} 1 + q^k ) /( Product_{k = 1..n} 1 + q^(2*k) ) = 1 + 2*q + 2*q^4 + 2*q^9 + .... See Fine, equation 14.43. (End)
%F A002448 Form _Peter Bala_, Sep 27 2023: (Start)
%F A002448 G.f. A(q) satisfies A(q)*A(-q) = A(q^2)^2.
