FORMULA
Expansion of (phi(-q^3) / phi(-q))^4 in powers of q where phi() is a Ramanujan theta function.
Expansion of ((eta(q^3) / eta(q))^2 * (eta(q^2) / eta(q^6)))^4 in powers of q.
Euler transform of period 6 sequence [ 8, 4, 0, 4, 8, 0, ...].
G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^2)) where f(u, v) = u * (1-v) * (1-9*v) - (u-v)^2.
G.f.: (Product_{k>0} (1 + x^k + x^(2*k)) / (1 - x^k + x^(2*k)) )^4.
a(n) ~ exp(2*Pi*sqrt(2*n/3)) / (2^(3/4) * 3^(9/4) * n^(3/4)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 08 2015
Empirical: Sum_{n>=0} a(n)/exp(2*Pi*n) = 1/3 + (1/9)*sqrt(3) + (1/9)*sqrt(9+6*sqrt(3)). - Simon Plouffe, Mar 02 2021
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 + 8*q + 40*q^2 + 152*q^3 + 488*q^4 + 1392*q^5 + 3640*q^6 + ...
