COMMENTS
The modularity pattern of the elliptic curve y^2 = x^3 + x^2 + x considered modulo prime(m) is seen from a(prime(m)) = prime(m) - N(prime(m)) = A271230(m), where N(prime(m))= A271229(m) is the number of solutions of this congruence. That is, the p-defect coincides with the prime indexed expansion coefficient (here for all primes).
This modular cusp form of weight 2 and level N = 48 = 2^4*3 is Nr. 54 in Martin's Table 1 (corrected by giving the 24 the missing exponent -1). See also the Michael Somos link where this correction has been observed.
This modular cusp form is a simultaneous eigenform of every Hecke operators T_p, with p a prime not 2 or 3 (bad primes) with eigenvalue lambda(p) = a(p). (See the Martin reference, Proposition 33, p. 4851.)
In the Martin and Ono reference, p. 3173 (Theorem 2), this cusp form appears (in the corrected version) in the row Conductor 48, and it is there related to the elliptic curve y^2 = x^3 + x^2 - 4*x - 4. The p-defects of this curve coincide with the ones of the curve y^2 = x^3 + x^2 + x modulo primes p given in A271230. - Wolfdieter Lang, Apr 21 2016

FORMULA
a(2*n+1) = A159819(n), a(2*n) = 0.
O.g.f.: Expansion in q = exp(2*Pi*i*z) with Im(z) > 0 of (eta(4*z)*eta(12*z))^4 / (eta(2*z)*eta(6*z)*eta(8*z)*eta(24*z)), where eta(z) = q^(1/24)*Product_{n >= 1} (1 - q^n) is the Dedekind function with q = q(z) given above, and i is the imaginary unit.
a(prime(m)) = A271230(m), m >= 1.
EXAMPLE
n=2: a(2) = A271230(1) = 0.
n=5: a(5) = A271230(3) = -2.
See the example section of A271229 for the solutions for the first primes.
