Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).
The zeros in this sequence correspond to those integers with an equal number of 4k+1 and 4k+3 divisors, or equivalently to those that have at least one 4k+3 prime factor with an odd exponent (A022544). - Ant King, Mar 12 2013
If A(q) = 1 + 4*q + 4*q^2 + 4*q^4 + 8*q^5 + ... denotes the o.g.f. of this sequence then the function F(q) := 1/4*(A(q^2) - A(q^4)) = ( Sum_{n >= 0} q^(2*n+1)^2 )^2 is the o.g.f. for counting the ways a positive integer n can be written as the sum of two positive odd squares. - Peter Bala, Dec 13 2013
Expansion coefficients of (2/Pi)*K, with the real quarter period K of elliptic functions, as series of the Jacobi nome q, due to (2/Pi)*K = theta_3(0,q)^2. See, e.g., Whittaker-Watson, p. 486. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 15 2016

A Jacobi identity: theta_3(0, q)^2 = 1 + 4*Sum_{r>=0} (-1)^r*q^(2*r+1)/(1 - q^(2*r+1)). See, e.g., the Grosswald reference (p. 15, p. 116, but p. 32, Lemma 2 with the proof, has the typo r >= 1 instead of r >= 0 in the sum, also in the proof). See the link with the Jacobi-Legendre letter.
Identity used by Weierstraß (see the König-Sprekels book, p. 187, eq. (5.12) and p. 281, with references, but there F(x) from (5.11) on p. 186 should start with nu =1 not 0): theta_3(0, q)^2 = 1 + 4*Sum_{n>=1} q^n/(1 + q^(2*n)). Proof: similar to the one of the preceding Jacobi identity. (End)

From Paul D. Hanna, Aug 10 2019: (Start)

From Peter Bala, Jan 05 2021: (Start)
G.f.: Sum_{n = -oo..oo} x^(4*n^2+2*n) * (1 + x^(4*n+1))/(1 - x^(4*n+1)). See Agarwal, p. 285, equation 6.20 with i = j = 1 and mu = 4.
For prime p of the form 4*k + 3, a(n*p^2 + (p^2 - 1)/4) = a(n).
If n > 0 and p are coprime then a(n*p + (p^2 - 1)/4) = 0. The proofs are similar to those given for the corresponding results for A115110. Cf. A000729.
For prime p of the form 4*k + 1 and for n not congruent to (p - 1)/4 (mod p) we have a(n*p^2 + (p^2 - 1)/4) = 3*a(n) (since b(n), where b(4*n+1) = a(n), is multiplicative). (End)
From Peter Bala, Mar 22 2021: (Start)
G.f. A(q) satisfies:
A(q^2) = Sum_{n = -oo..oo} q^n/(1 - q^(4*n+2)) (set z = q, alpha = q^2, mu = 4 in Agarwal, equation 6.15).
A(q^2) = Sum_{n = -oo..oo} q^(2*n)/(1 - q^(4*n+1)) (set z = q^2, alpha = q, mu = 4 in Agarwal, equation 6.15).
A(q^2) = Sum_{n = -oo..oo} q^n/(1 + q^(2*n+1))^2 = Sum_{n = -oo..oo} q^(3*n+1)/(1 + q^(2*n+1))^2. (End)
G.f.: Sum_{k>=0} a(k) * q^k = Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^k * q^(k*(k+1)) + 2 * Sum_{n>=1, k>=0} (-1)^k * q^(k*(k+2*n+1)+n). - Mamuka Jibladze, May 17 2021
G.f.: Sum_{k>=0} a(k) * q^k = Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^k * q^(k*(k+1)) * (1 + q^(2*k+1))/(1 - q^(2*k+1)). - Mamuka Jibladze, Jun 06 2021
Asymptotic mean: Limit_{m->oo} (1/m) * Sum_{k=1..m} a(k) = Pi/2 (A019669). - Amiram Eldar, Oct 15 2022
