Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).

In Baker [1890] page 94 is equation (1): sqrt(cos theta) = [[...]] = 1 - 4q + 8q^2 -[[...]] where cos theta = k'. - Michael Somos, Dec 31 2023

Formula

Expansion of eta(q)^4 * eta(q^4)^2 / eta(q^2)^6 in powers of q.

Expansion of Jacobian elliptic function sqrt(k') in powers of q.

Expansion of phi(-q) / phi(q) = chi(-q)^2 / chi(q)^2 = psi(-q)^2 / psi(q)^2 = phi(-q)^2 / phi(-q^2)^2 = phi(-q^2)^2 / phi(q)^2 = chi(-q)^4 / chi(-q^2)^2 = chi(-q^2)^2 / chi(q)^4 = f(-q)^2 / f(q)^2 in powers of q where phi(), psi(), chi(), f() are Ramanujan theta functions.

G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^2)) where f(u, v) = v^2 * (u^2 + 1) - 2*u.

Unique solution to f(x^2)^(-2) = (f(x) + 1/f(x)) / 2 and f(0) = 1, f'(0) nonzero.

G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (16 t)) = 2 g(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t) and g() is g.f. for A079006.

G.f.: theta_4 / theta_3 = (Sum_{k} (-x)^k^2)/(Sum_{k} x^k^2) = (Product_{k>0} ((1 - x^(4*k - 1)) * (1 - x^(4*k - 3)))^2 / (1 - x^(4*k - 2)))^2.
