Formula

Expansion of 6 + (eta(q) / eta(q^5))^6 in powers of q. - Michael Somos, Apr 30 2004

a(n) = A045483(n) = A106248(n) unless n=0.

a(n) = A229793(n) - A078905(n) for n > 0. - Seiichi Manyama, Jan 01 2017

Example

T5B = 1/q + 9*q + 10*q^2 - 30*q^3 + 6*q^4 - 25*q^5 + 96*q^6 + 60*q^7 - ...

Mathematica

a[ n_] := SeriesCoefficient[ 6 + 1/q (QPochhammer[ q] / QPochhammer[ q^5])^6, {q, 0, n}]; (* Michael Somos, May 22 2013 *)

Prog

(PARI) {a(n) = my(A); if( n<-1, 0, n++; A = x * O(x^n); polcoeff( 6*x + (eta(x + A) / eta(x^5 + A))^6, n))}; /* Michael Somos, Apr 30 2004 */
(PARI) {a(n) = my(A, k); if( n<-1, 0, k = (sqrtint(40*n + 48) + 7)\10; A = x * (sum(i=-k, k, (-1)^i * x^((5*i^2 + 3*i)/2), x^2 * O(x^n)) / sum(i=-k, k, (-1)^i * x^((5*i^2 + i)/2), x^2 * O(x^n)))^5; polcoeff( 1/A - A - 5, n))}; /* Michael Somos, Apr 30 2004 */
