The sequence shows the coefficients of sqrt(theta_3) regarded as an exponential generating function.

Examples

			sqrt(theta_3) = 1 + q - (1/2)*q^2 + (1/2)*q^3 + (3/8)*q^4 - (1/8)*q^5 + (3/16)*q^6 - (7/16)*q^7 + (67/128)*q^8 + (27/128)*q^9 + ...

Formula

E.g.f. appears to equal exp( Sum_{n >= 0} x^(2*n+1)/((2*n+1)*(1 + x^(2*n+1))) ). - Peter Bala, Dec 23 2021
a(0) = 1; a(n) = (n-1)! * Sum_{k=1..n} A186690(k) * a(n-k)/(n-k)!. - Seiichi Manyama, Jul 07 2023
