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).

EXAMPLE

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 - ...

MATHEMATICA

a[ n_] := Module[ {m = InverseEllipticNomeQ @ q, e}, e = (1 - m) / (m / 16)^(1/2); SeriesCoefficient[ (e - 64 / e) q^(1/2), {q, 0, n}]] (* Michael Somos, Jul 22 2011 *)

PROG

(PARI) {a(n) = local(A); if( n<0, 0, A = x * O(x^n); A = (eta(x + A) / eta(x^2 + A))^12; polcoeff( A - 64 * x / A, n))} /* Michael Somos, Jul 22 2011 */
