Expansion of q^(1/8)/(eta(q)eta(q^2)) in powers of q.

Euler transform of period 2 sequence [1,2,...].

For a real polynomial equation of degree n, a(n) is the number of possibilities for the roots to be real and unequal, real and equal (in various combinations), or simple or multiple complex conjugates. For example, a(3)=4 because we can have: three equal roots, two equal roots, three distinct real roots and two complex roots (see the Monthly Problem reference). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Mar 22 2005

Number of partitions of n, the even parts being of two kinds. E.g. a(4)=9 because we have 4, 4', 3+1, 2+2, 2+2', 2'+2', 2+1+1, 2'+1+1, 1+1+1+1. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Mar 22 2005

FORMULA

Given g.f. A(x), then B(x)=A(x)^8/x satisfies 0=f(B(x), B(x^2), B(x^4)) where f(u, v, w)=16v^4+v^3w+256uv^3+16uv^2w-u^2w^2. - Michael Somos Apr 3 2005

G.f.: Product_{k>0} 1/((1-x^(2k))^2 (1-x^(2k-1))).
