Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) := Prod_{k>=1} (1-(-q)^k) (see A121373), phi(q) := theta_3(q) := Sum_{k=-oo..oo} q^(k^2) (A000122), psi(q) := Sum_{k=0..oo} q^(k*(k+1)/2) (A10054), chi(q) := Prod_{k>=0} (1+q^(2k+1)) (A000700).

FORMULA

In the notation of Gunning, Lect. on Modular Forms, pp. 53-54, expand E_2(z) / Delta(z)^(1/3).

Given g.f. A(x), then B(x) = A(x^3)/x satisfies 0 = f(B(x), B(x^2)) where f(u, v) = u^3 + v^3 - 54000 + 495 * u*v - (u*v)^2. - Michael Somos Apr 29 2006

Expansion of (phi(-q)^8 - (2 * phi(-q) * phi(q))^4 + 16 * phi(q)^8) / f(-q)^8 in powers of q where phi(), f() are Ramanujan theta functions.

EXAMPLE

T3C = 1/q + 248*q^2 + 4124*q^5 + 34752*q^8 + 213126*q^11 + 1057504*q^14 + ...

MATHEMATICA

n = 21; f[u_, v_] = u^3 + v^3 - 54000 + 495*u*v - (u*v)^2;

a[x_] = Sum[c[k] x^k, {k, 0, n}]; b[x_] = a[x^3]/x;

eq[1] = # == 0 & /@ CoefficientList[x^6 f[b[x], b[x^2]], x] // Union // Rest; s[1] = Solve[eq[1][[1]], c[0]] // Last; Do[eq[k] = Rest[eq[k-1]] /. s[k-1] ; s[k] = Solve[eq[k][[1]], c[k-1]] // Last, {k, 2, n}]; Table[c[k], {k, 0, n-1}] /. Flatten @ Table[s[k], {k, 1, n}]
