Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) := Prod_{k>=1} (1-(-q)^k) (see A121373), phi(q) := theta_3(q) := Sum_{k=-oo..oo} q^(k^2) (A000122), psi(q) := Sum_{k=0..oo} q^(k*(k+1)/2) (A10054), chi(q) := Prod_{k>=0} (1+q^(2k+1)) (A000700).

FORMULA

Expansion of (1 - phi(-q)^8) / 16 in powers of q where phi() is a Ramanujan theta function.

a(n) is multiplicative with a(2^e) = -(8^(e+1) - 15) / 7, a(p^e) = ((p^3)^(e+1) - 1) / (p^3 - 1).

G.f.: Sum_{k>0} k^3 * -(-x)^k / (1 - x^k).

EXAMPLE

q - 7*q^2 + 28*q^3 - 71*q^4 + 126*q^5 - 196*q^6 + 344*q^7 - 583*q^8 + ...

PROG

(PARI) {a(n) = if( n<0, 0, sumdiv(n, d, -(-1)^d * d^3))}

CROSSREFS

-(-1)^n * A008457(n) = a(n). A035016(n) = -16 * a(n) unless n=0.
