COMMENTS
Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).
For n nonzero, a(n) is nonzero if and only if n is in A002479.

FORMULA
Expansion of (1 - eta(q)^2 * eta(q^2) / eta(q^4)) / 2 in powers of q.
G.f.: (1 - Product_{k>0} (1 - x^k)^2 / (1 + x^(2*k)) )/2.
a(n) = A002325(n) * (-1)^floor((n-1)/2). A082564(n) = -2 * a(n) unless n=0.
a(3*n + 1) = A258747(n). a(3*n + 2) = A258764(n). - Michael Somos, Jun 09 2015
EXAMPLE
G.f. = q + q^2 - 2*q^3 - q^4 + 2*q^6 - q^8 + 3*q^9 - 2*q^11 - 2*q^12 - q^16 + ...
