Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) := Product_{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) (A010054), chi(q) := Product_{k>=0} (1+q^(2k+1)) (A000700).

Expansion of (eta(q^2)^3/(eta(q)*eta(q^4)^2))^8 in powers of q. - Michael Somos, Nov 14 2006

Expansion of (chi(q)*chi(-q^2))^8/q in powers of q where chi() is a Ramanujan theta function.

Euler transform of period 4 sequence [ 8, -16, 8, 0, ...]. - Michael Somos, Nov 14 2006

G.f. A(x) satisfies: 0=f(A(x), A(x^2)) where f(u, v) = 256 - v*(32-16*u+u^2) + v^2. - Michael Somos, Nov 14 2006

G.f.: 1/q*(Product_{k>0} (1+q^(2k-1))/(1+q^(2k)))^8.

Example
