Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

FORMULA
Expansion of (phi(q) * phi(-q^2) * chi(-q^3) / chi(q^3) - 1) / 2 in powers of q where phi(), chi() are Ramanujan theta functions.
Moebius transform is period 24 sequence [1, -2, -4, 0, 1, 8, -1, 0, 4, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, -4, 0, 1, -8, -1, 0, 4, 2, -1, 0, ...].
a(n) is multiplicative with a(2^e) = -1 if e>0, a(3^e) = -1 + 2 * (-1)^e, a(p^e) = e+1 if p == 1, 5 (mod 12), a(p^e) = (1 + (-1)^e) / 2 if p == 7, 11 (mod 12).
a(12*n + 7) = a(12*n + 11) = 0.
a(n) = -(-1)^n * A138950(n). 2 * a(n) = A138951(n).
a(2*n) = - A138950(n). a(2*n + 1) = A116604(n). - Michael Somos, Sep 07 2015
a(3*n + 1) = A258277(n). a(3*n + 2) = - A258278(n). - Michael Somos, Sep 07 2015
