Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).

This is an example of the quintuple product identity in the form f(a*b^4, a^2/b) - (a/b) * f(a^4*b, b^2/a) = f(-a*b, -a^2*b^2) * f(-a/b, -b^2) / f(a, b) where a = x^4, b = x.

Formula

Expansion of f(x^7, x^8) - x * f(x^2, x^13) in power of x.

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

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

|a(n)| is the characteristic function of the numbers in A093722.

The exponents in the q-series q * A(q^120) are the square of the numbers in A057538.

G.f.: Prod_{k>0} (1 - x^k) / ((1 - x^(10*k - 2)) * (1 - x^(10*k - 8))) = Sum_{k in Z} x^((15*k^2 + k) / 2) - x^((15*k^2 - 11*k + 2) / 2).

Example

G.f. = 1 - x - x^3 + x^7 + x^8 - x^14 - x^20 + x^29 + x^31 - x^42 - x^52 + ...
G.f. = q - q^121 - q^361 + q^841 + q^961 - q^1681 - q^2401 + q^3481 + q^3721 + ...
