FORMULA
G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (8 t)) = - f(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t). - Michael Somos, Jul 22 2011
a(n) = A007249(n) - 64 * A022577(n-1).
Expansion of q^(1/2) * ((eta(q) / eta(q^2))^12 - 64*(eta(q^2) / eta(q))^12) in powers of q. - G. A. Edgar, Mar 10 2017
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 - 76*x - 702*x^2 - 5224*x^3 - 23425*x^4 - 98172*x^5 - 336450*x^6 + ...
T4a = 1/q - 76*q - 702*q^3 - 5224*q^5 - 23425*q^7 - 98172*q^9 - ...
