FORMULA

Expansion of q^(1/12)(eta(q) / eta(q^2))^2 in powers of q.

Euler transform of period 2 sequence [ -2, 0, ...]. - Michael Somos Sep 10 2005

Expansion of chi(-q)^2 in powers of q where chi() is a Ramanujan theta function.

G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (288 t)) = 2 / f(t) where q = exp(2 pi i t).

G.f.: Product_{k>0} (1 + x^k)^-2.Convolution square of A081362. Convolution inverse of A022567. a(n) = (-1)^n * A073252(n).

EXAMPLE

T24J = 1/q - 2*q^11 + q^23 - 2*q^35 + 4*q^47 - 4*q^59 + 5*q^71 - 6*q^83 + ...
