COMMENTS
The theta series of even layers is a(q^3) * theta_3(q^8) and of odd layers is c(q^3) * theta_2(q^8). - Michael Somos, Aug 15 2006
The Cartesian coordinates of the points in the packing are given by HCP(i, j, k) =
(i + (j + m)/2, (3*j + m)/sqrt(12), sqrt(2/3)*k) where, m=mod(k, 2) and i, j, k are integers. - Michael Somos, Feb 04 2019
Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).
Cubic AGM theta functions: a(q) (see A004016), b(q) (A005928), c(q) (A005882).

FORMULA
{t3(8z/3) - t2(8z/3)/2} * {t3(z)t3(3z) + t2(z)t2(3z)} + (1/2)*t2(8z/3) * {t3(z/3)t3(z) + t2(z/3)t2(z)}, where t3=theta_3, t2=theta_2.
Expansion of a(x^3) * phi(x^8) + 2*x^2 * c(x^3) * psi(x^16) in powers of x where a(), c() are cubic AGM theta functions and phi(), psi() are Ramanujan theta functions.
a(n) is the number of integer solutions [i, j, k] to n = 2*i^2 + (j^2 + j*k + k^2) / 3 where j, k == mod(i, 2) (mod 3). - Michael Somos, Jul 19 2014
G.f.: Sum_{i, j, k in Z} x^(8*i^2 + 3*(j^2 + j*k + k^2)) * (1 + x^(3 + 8*i + 3*j + 3*k)). - Michael Somos, Jul 19 2014
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 + 12*x^3 + 6*x^6 + 2*x^8 + 18*x^9 + 12*x^11 + 6*x^12 + 12*x^15 + ...
