FORMULA

Expansion of chi(-q)^4 in powers of q where chi() is a Ramanujan theta function.

Expansion of q^(1/6) * (eta(q) / eta(q^2))^4 in powers of q.

Euler transform of period 2 sequence [ -4, 0, ...]. - Michael Somos Apr 26 2008

Given G.f. A(x) then B(x) = (A(x^6) / x)^2 satisfies 0 = f(B(x), B(x^2)) where f(u, v) = u * (16 + u * v) - v^2. - Michael Somos Apr 26 2008

Given G.f. A(x) then B(x) = A(x^6) / x satisfies 0 = f(B(x), B(x^2), B(x^4)) where f(u, v, w) = 4 * v * (v + u^2) - w^2 * (v - u^2). - Michael Somos Apr 26 2008

G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1/(72 t)) = 4 / f(t) where q = exp(2 pi i t).
