FORMULA

Expansion of chi(q)^12 in powers of q where chi() is a Ramanujan theta function.

Expansion of q^(1/2) * (eta(q^2)^2 / (eta(q) * eta(q^4)))^12 in powers of q.

G.f.: Product_{k>0} (1 + (-x)^k)^-12 = Product_{k>0} (1 + x^(2*k - 1))^-12.

a(n) = (-1)^n * A007249(n). Convolution inverse of A124863.

EXAMPLE

1 + 12*x + 66*x^2 + 232*x^3 + 639*x^4 + 1596*x^5 + 3774*x^6 + 8328*x^7 + ...

T8B = 1/q + 12*q + 66*q^3 + 232*q^5 + 639*q^7 + 1596*q^9 + 3774*q^11 + ...

MATHEMATICA

a[ n_] := With[ {m = InverseEllipticNomeQ @ q}, SeriesCoefficient[ ((1 - m) m / 16 / q)^(1/2), {q, 0, n}]] (* Michael Somos, Jul 22 2011 *)

a[ n_] := SeriesCoefficient[ Product[ 1 + x^k, {k, 1, n, 2}]^-12, {x, 0, n}] (* Michael Somos, Jul 22 2011 *)

PROG

(PARI) {a(n) = local(A); if( n<0, 0, A = x * O(x^n); polcoeff( ( eta(x^2 + A)^2 / (eta(x + A) * eta(x^4 + A)))^12, n))}
