Comments

The g.f. Sum_{k >= 1} x^(k*(k+1)) * Product_{j = 1..k} (1 + x^j)/(1 - x^j) = Sum_{k >= 1} x^(k*(k+1)) * Product_{j = 1..k} (1 + x^j)/(1 - x^j + 2*x^j) == Sum_{k >= 1} x^(k*(k+1)) (mod 2). It follows that a(n) is odd iff n = k*(k + 1) for some nonnegative integer k. - Peter Bala, Jan 04 2025

Formula

Limit_{n->infinity} A066447(n) / a(n) = A058265 = (1 + (19+3*sqrt(33))^(1/3) + (19-3*sqrt(33))^(1/3))/3 = 1.839286755214... (the tribonacci constant).

Compare with: A306734(n) / A333179(n) -> A060006 (the plastic constant) and A003114(n) / A003106(n) -> A001622 (golden ratio).

a(n) ~ c * d^sqrt(n) / n^(3/4), where d = A376841 = 7.1578741786143524880205... = exp(2*sqrt(log(r)^2 - polylog(2, -r^2) + polylog(2, r^2))) and c = 0.10511708841962944170826735560432... = (log(r)^2 - polylog(2, -r^2) + polylog(2, r^2))^(1/4) * sqrt(1/24 - sinh(arcsinh(sqrt(11)/4)/3) / (12*sqrt(11))) / sqrt(Pi), where r = A192918 = 0.54368901269207636157... is the real root of the equation r^2*(1+r) = 1-r. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 17 2020, updated Oct 10 2024
