Formula

Expansion of G(x) * f(-x^2) where G() is the g.f. of A003114.

Expansion of f(-x^13, -x^17) + x * f(-x^7, -x^23) in powers of x.

Euler transform of period 10 sequence [ 1, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1, 1, -1, ...].

G.f.: Sum_{k} (-1)^k * x^(15*k^2) * (x^(2*k) + x^(8*k + 1)) = Product_{k>0} (1 - x^(10*k)) * (1 - x^(10*k -2)) * (1 - x^(10*k -8)) / ((1 - x^(10*k -1)) * (1 - x^(10*k -9))).

|a(n)| is the characteristic function of A204221.

The exponents in the q-series q * A(q^15) are the squares of the numbers == +- 1 or +- 4 (mod 15).

Example

G.f. = 1 + x - x^8 - x^13 - x^17 - x^24 + x^45 + x^56 + x^64 + x^77 - x^112 + ...
G.f. = q + q^16 - q^121 - q^196 - q^256 - q^361 + q^676 + q^841 + q^961 + q^1156 + ...
