FORMULA
Expansion of -4 + psi(q) / (q * psi(q^9)) + 3 * q * psi(q^9) / psi(q) in powers of q where psi() is a Ramanujan theta function. - Michael Somos, Aug 09 2012
Expansion of (1/q) * (chi(-q) * chi(-q^9))^3 / chi(-q^3)^2 in powers of q where chi() is a Ramanujan theta function.
Expansion of b(q) * c(q^3) / (b(q^2) * c(q^6)) in powers of q where b(), c() are cubic AGM theta functions.
Given g.f. A(x), then B(x) = 1/A(x) satisfies 0 = f(B(x), B(x^2)) where f(u, v) = u^2 - v - u * v * (6 + 4*v).
G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (18 t)) = 4 * g(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t) and g() is g.f. for A123629.
a(n) = A058533(n) = A215412(n) = A215413(n) unless n=0. - Michael Somos, Aug 09 2012
Convolution inverse of A123629.
a(n) ~ (-1)^(n+1) * exp(2*Pi*sqrt(n)/3) / (2*sqrt(3)*n^(3/4)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 12 2015
