Consider the set { 1,2,3,...,n }. Sequence gives number of ways this set can be partitioned into 2 subsets with equal sums. For example, when n = 7, { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7} can be partitioned in 4 ways: {1,6,7} {2,3,4,5}; {2,5,7} {1,3,4,6}; {3,4,7} {1,2,5,6} and {1,2,4,7} {3,5,6}. - sorin (yamba_ro(AT)yahoo.com), Mar 24 2007
The "equal sums" of Sorin's comment are the positive terms of A074378 (Even triangular numbers halved). In the current sequence a(n) <> 0 iff n is the positive index (A014601) of an even triangular number (A014494). - Rick L. Shepherd, Feb 09 2010
a(n) is the number of partitions of n(n-3)/4 into distinct parts not exceeding n-1. - Alon Amit, Oct 18 2017
a(n) is the coefficient of x^(n*(n+1)/4-1) of Product_{k=2..n} (1+x^k). - Jianing Song, Nov 19 2021

Examples

			1+2-3=0, so a(3)=1;
1-2-3+4=0, so a(4)=1;
1+2-3+4-5-6+7=0, 1+2-3-4+5+6-7=0, 1-2+3+4-5+6-7=0, 1-2-3-4-5+6+7=0, so a(7)=4.

Recurrence for row polynomials R(n, x) = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n, k)*x^k: R(n, x) = (x+3)*R(n-1,x+4), with R(0, x) = 1.
R(n, x) = risefac(4,3;x,n) := Product_{j=0..(n-1)} (x + (3 + 4*j)). (See the P. Bala link, eq. (16) for the signed s_{4,0,3} row polynomials.)
T(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..(n-m)} binomial(n-j, k)* S1p(n, n-j)*3^(n-k-j)*4^j, with S1p(n, m) = A132393(n, m).

Formula

G.f.: x^2*(8 + x)/((1 + x)*(1 - x)^2).
a(n) = (18*n + 7*(-1)^n - 11)/4. Therefore: a(2*m) = 9*m-1, a(2*m+1) = 9*m. It follows that a(j)+a(k) and a(j)*a(k) belong to the sequence if j and k are not both even.
a(n) = -A090570(-n+2).
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) - a(n-3).
a(2*r+1) + a(2*r+s+1) = a(4*r+s+1) and a(2*r) + a(2*r+2*s+1) = a(4*r+2*s). A particular case provided by these identities: a(n) = a(n - 2*floor(n/6)) + a(2*floor(n/6) + 1).

Integers of the form k+k*(k+1)/4 = k+A000217(k)/2; for k see A014601, for A000217(k)/2 see A074378.
Are all terms composite?
Yes, because a(2*k) = k*(4*k+5) and a(2*k-1) = (k+1)*(4*k-1). - Bruno Berselli, Apr 07 2013
Numbers m such that 16*m + 25 is a square. - Vincenzo Librandi, Apr 07 2013
