Let q = exp(-Pi*sqrt(58)/4). Then 396 = B(q) = 1/q + 26*q^3 + ... + a(n)*q^(4*n-1) + ... - Michael Somos, Sep 30 2019

FORMULA
Expansion of 2 * q^(1/4) * ((k'^4 + 4*k^2) / (k'^2 * k))^(1/2) in powers of q. - Michael Somos, Sep 01 2014
Given g.f. A(x), then B(q) = A(q^4) / q satisfies 0 = f(B(q), B(q^3)) where f(u, v) = (u^2 + v^2)^2 - (u*v - 12) * (u*v - 32)^2. - Michael Somos, Sep 01 2014
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, Sep 01 2014
Convolution square is A007247. Convolution fourth power is A007267.
a(n) ~ exp(Pi*sqrt(2*n)) / (2^(5/4)*n^(3/4)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, May 01 2017
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 + 26*x + 79*x^2 + 326*x^3 + 755*x^4 + 2106*x^5 + 4460*x^6 + ...
