Note: theta_4(x) = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(n^2) - see A002448.
Congruences:
(C.1) a(2*n) == 0 (mod 4) for n >= 1.
(C.2) a(n) == A369672(n) (mod 4) for n >= 1.
(C.3) a(2*n)/4 == -A369672(2*n)/4 (mod 4) for n >= 1.

Examples

			G.f.: A(x) = x + 4*x^2 + 15*x^3 + 52*x^4 + 177*x^5 + 664*x^6 + 3038*x^7 + 16268*x^8 + 90660*x^9 + 490456*x^10 + 2541387*x^11 + 12819184*x^12 + ...
where Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (x^n - 4*A(x))^n = theta_4(x), and
theta_4(x) = 1 - 2*x + 2*x^4 - 2*x^9 + 2*x^16 + ... + (-1)^n*2*x^(n^2) + ...
RELATED SERIES.
When we break up the doubly infinite sum into the following parts
P = Sum_{n>=0} (x^n - 4*A(x))^n = 1 - 3*x - 4*x^3 - 15*x^4 - 76*x^5 - 336*x^6 - 1516*x^7 - 7040*x^8 - 34403*x^9 - 175616*x^10 - 918968*x^11 - 4847040*x^12 + ...
N = Sum_{n>=1} x^(n^2) / (1 - 4*x^n*A(x))^n = x + 4*x^3 + 17*x^4 + 76*x^5 + 336*x^6 + 1516*x^7 + 7040*x^8 + 34401*x^9 + 175616*x^10 + 918968*x^11 + 4847040*x^12 + ...
we see that the sum equals P + N = theta_4(x).

Formula

G.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=1} a(n)*x^n satisfies the following formulas.
(1) Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (x^n - 4*A(x))^n = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(n^2).
(2) Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} x^n * (x^n + 4*A(x))^(n-1) = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(n^2).
(3) Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^n * (x^n - 4*A(x))^n = 0.
(4) Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} x^(n^2) / (1 - 4*x^n*A(x))^n = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(n^2).
(5) Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} x^(n^2) / (1 + 4*x^n*A(x))^(n+1) = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(n^2).
(6) Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} (-1)^n * x^(n*(n-1)) / (1 - 4*x^n*A(x))^n = 0.
