Formula

G.f.: f_1(q) = Sum_{n>=0} q^(n^2+n)/((1+q)(1+q^2)...(1+q^n)).
Consider partitions of n into parts differing by at least 2 and with smallest part at least 2. a(n) is the number of them with largest part even minus number with largest part odd.
a(n) ~ (-1)^n * sqrt(phi) * exp(Pi*sqrt(n/15)) / (2*5^(1/4)*sqrt(n)), where phi = A001622 = (1+sqrt(5))/2 is the golden ratio. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 15 2019
