FORMULA
Expansion of q^(1/3) * (eta(q) / eta(q^5))^2 in powers of q.
Euler transform of period 5 sequence [ -2, -2, -2, -2, 0, ...].
G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (45 t)) = 5 / f(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t).
G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^2)) where f(u, v) = (u - v^2) * (v - u^2) + 4*u*v.
G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^2), A(x^4)) where f(u, v, w) = u^2 + u*w + w^2 - v^2 * (u + w) - 5*v.
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 - 2*x - x^2 + 2*x^3 + x^4 + 4*x^5 - 6*x^6 - 2*x^7 + 2*x^8 + ...
T15D = 1/q - 2*q^2 - q^5 + 2*q^8 + q^11 + 4*q^14 - 6*q^17 - 2*q^20 + 2*q^23 + ...
