FORMULA
Expansion of q^(-1) * (chi(-q^9) / chi(-q))^3 in powers of q where chi() is a Ramanujan theta function.
Expansion of (eta(q^2) * eta(q^9) / (eta(q) * eta(q^18)))^3 in powers of q.
Euler transform of period 18 sequence [ 3, 0, 3, 0, 3, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 3, 0, 3, 0, 3, 0, ...].
G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^2), A(x^4)) where f(u, v, w) = (u^2 - v) * (w^2 - v) - u*w * (6*(1 + v^2) - 10*v).
G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^2)) where f(u, v) = (u*v - u - v)^3 - u*v* (u + v - 1)^3.
G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (18 t)) = f(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t).
G.f.: (1/x) * (Product_{k>0} P(x^k))^-3 where P(x) = (x^2 - x + 1) * (x^6 - x^3 + 1).
a(n) = A058535(n) unless n = 0.
a(n) ~ exp(2*Pi*sqrt(2*n)/3) / (2^(3/4) * sqrt(3) * n^(3/4)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 13 2015
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1/q + 3 + 6*q + 13*q^2 + 24*q^3 + 42*q^4 + 73*q^5 + 120*q^6 + ...
