FORMULA

a(4n+2)=0, a(4n)=A000594(n) (Ramanujan tau(n)).

Sum_{k>0} a(4k+1)q^(4k+1) = (-1)(q*d/dq theta_2(q^4))*eta(q^4)^18*eta(q^16)^2/eta(q^8). - Michael Somos Mar 20 2004

Sum_{k>0} a(4k+3)q^(4k+3) = (1/2)(q*d/dq theta_3(q^4))*eta(q^4)^16*eta(q^8)^5/eta(q^16)^2. - Michael Somos Mar 20 2004

G.f.: x^3(Product_{k>0} (1-x^k)(1-x^(4k))^18/(1+x^k))(Sum_{k>0} k^2 x^(k^2)). - Michael Somos Mar 20 2004

phi_{10, 1}*q*(d/dq){theta_3(z)} where phi_{10, 1} is unique Jacobi cusp form of weight 10 index 1 given by A003784.

PROG
