FORMULA
Expansion of q^(-1/4) * (eta(q^2)^3 / (eta(q) * eta(q^4)))^6 in powers of q.
Euler transform of period 4 sequence [6, -12, 6, -6, ...].
G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (64 t)) = 512 (t/i)^3 f(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t).
a(n) = b(4*n + 1) where b(n) is multiplicative b(2^e) = 0^e, b(p^e) = (1 + (-1)^e) / 2 * p^e if p == 3 (mod 4), else b(p^e) = b(p) * b(p^(e-1)) - p^2 * b^(p^(e-2)) if p == 1 (mod 4).
G.f.: Product_{k>0} (1 - (-x)^k)^6.
a(n) = (-1)^n * A000729(n). a(9*n + 5) = a(9*n + 8) = 0. a(9*n + 2) = 9 * a(n).
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 + 6*x + 9*x^2 - 10*x^3 - 30*x^4 + 11*x^6 - 42*x^7 + 70*x^9 + ...
G.f. = q + 6*q^5 + 9*q^9 - 10*q^13 - 30*q^17 + 11*q^25 - 42*q^29 + 70*q^37 + ...
