FORMULA
Expansion of (eta(q) / eta(q^16))^2 * (eta(q^8) / eta(q^2))^5 in powers of q.
Euler transform of period 16 sequence [ -2, 3, -2, 3, -2, 3, -2, -2, -2, 3, -2, 3, -2, 3, -2, 0, ...].
G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^2)) where f(u, v) = u^2 - (1 - 2*u + 2*u^2) * (1 - 2*v + 2*v^2).
G.f.: (Sum_{k in Z} x^(4*k^2)) / (Sum_{k in Z} x^(k^2)) = theta_3(0, x^4) / theta_3(0, x).
G.f.: Product_{k>0} ((1 + x^(2*k)) * (1 + x^(4*k)))^3 / ((1 + x^k) * (1 + x^(8*k)))^2.
Expansion of continued fraction 1 / (1 + 2*x / (1 - x^2 + (x^1 + x^3)^2 / (1 - x^6 + (x^2 + x^6)^2 / (1 - x^10 + (x^3 + x^9)^2 / ...)))).
G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (16 t)) = 1/2 * g(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t) and g() is the g.f. for A208724.
(-1)^n * a(n) = A208933(n). a(2*n) = A131126(n). a(2*n + 2) = -2 * A093160(n). - Michael Somos, Dec 11 2016
Convolution inverse of A208274. - Michael Somos, Dec 11 2016
a(n) ~ (-1)^n * exp(sqrt(n)*Pi) / (2^(7/2) * n^(3/4)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 15 2017
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 - 2*q + 4*q^2 - 8*q^3 + 16*q^4 - 28*q^5 + 48*q^6 - 80*q^7 + 128*q^8 + ...
