%N A386706 Expansion of ((Product_{k>=1} (1 - x^k)^2/(1 - 4*x^k + x^(2k))) - 1)/2.
%C A386706 a(n) is the value at q = 2 + sqrt(3) of C_n(q)/(q^{n-1}(q - 1)^2), where C_n(q) is the number of codimension n ideals of the algebra of two-variable Laurent polynomials over a finite field of order q. The number C_n(q) is a palindromic polynomial of degree 2n with integer coefficients in the variable q and it is divisible by (q-1)^2.
