Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).
Glaisher (1876) writes "XIII. tan(pi/16) = (e^(-pi/2) - e^(-3 pi/2) - e^(-15 pi/2) + e^(-21 pi/2) + e^(-45 pi/2) - &c.) / (1 - e^(-6 pi/2) - e^(-10 pi/2) + e^(-28 pi/2) + e^(-36 pi/2) - &c.), ..." where the numerator is q * f( -q^2, -q^14) and denominator is f( -q^6, -q^10) where q = e^(-pi/2). - Michael Somos, Jun 22 2012
Berndt writes "[...] v = q^(1/2) f(-q,-q^7) / f(-q^3,-q^5). Then v = q^(1/2) / (1 + q + q^2 / (1 + q^3 + q^4 / (1 + q^5 + q^6 / (1 + x^7 + ...)))). (1.1)". - Michael Somos, Jul 09 2012
Jacobi writes "(7.) (1 - sqrt(k')) / (1 + sqrt(k') + sqrt(2(1+k'))) = (q - q^3 - q^15 + q^21 + q^45 - q^55 - ...) / (1 - q^6 - q^10 + q^28 + q^36 - q^66 - ...)." - Michael Somos, Sep 11 2012

FORMULA
Expansion of f(-x, -x^7) / f(-x^3, -x^5) in powers of x where f(, ) is Ramanujan's general theta function. - Michael Somos, Aug 02 2011
Expansion of (phi(x) - phi(x^2)) / (2 * x * psi(x^4)) = 2 * psi(x^4) / (phi(x) + phi(x^2)) in powers of x where phi(), psi() are Ramanujan theta functions. - Michael Somos, Feb 15 2006
Expansion of q^(-1) * (1 - sqrt(k')) / (1 + sqrt(k') + sqrt(2 * (1 + k'))) in powers of q^2 where k' is the complementary elliptic modulus. - Michael Somos, Sep 11 2012

G.f. A(x) satisfies both A(-x) * A(x) = A(x^2) and x * A(x)^2 = B(x * A(x^2)) where B(x) = x * (1 - x) / (1 + x).
Given g.f. A(x), then B(x) = x * A(x^2) satisfies 0 = f(B(x), B(x^2)) where f(u, v) = u^2 - v + v^2 + v*u^2.
Given g.f. A(x), then B(x) = x * A(x^2) satisfies 0 = f(B(x), B(x^3)) where f(u, v) = (1 - u*v) * (u + v)^3 - v * (1 + v^2) * (1 - u^4). - Michael Somos, Feb 15 2006
Given g.f. A(x), then B(x) = x * A(x^2) satisfies 0 = f(B(x), B(x^5)) where f(u, v) = (u - v) * (1 + u*v)^5 - u * (1 - u^4) * (1 + v^2) * (1 - 6*v^2 + v^4). - Michael Somos, Feb 15 2006
G.f.: Product_{k>=0} (1 - x^(8*k + 1)) * (1 - x^(8*k + 7)) / ((1 - x^(8*k + 3)) * (1 - x^(8*k + 5))).
G.f. = continued fraction 1/(1 + x + x^2/(1 + x^3 + x^4/(1 + x^5 + x^6/(1 + x^7 + ...)))). Convolution inverse of A111374.

a(4*n) = A083365(n). a(4*n + 2) = 0.
G.f. A(x) satisfies x*A(-x^2) = x*B(x^2)/C(x^2) = (F(x) - F(-x))/(F(x) + F(-x)), where B(x) is the g.f. of A069911, C(x) is the g.f. of A069910 and F(x) = Product_{k >= 0} 1 + x^(2*k+1) is the g.f. of A000700. - Peter Bala, Feb 07 2021
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 - x + x^3 - x^4 + x^5 - 2*x^7 + 2*x^8 - x^9 + 2*x^11 - 3*x^12 + ...
