FORMULA
Expansion of psi(q) / (q * psi(q^9)) = 1 + chi(-q^9)^3 / (q * chi(-q^3)) in powers of q where psi(), chi() are Ramanujan theta functions.
Expansion of eta(q^2)^2 * eta(q^9) / (eta(q) * eta(q^18)^2) in powers of q.

G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (18 t)) = 3 g(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t) and g() is the g.f. for A128770.
G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^2)) where f(u, v) = v * (u^2 + 3) - (u + v)^2.
G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^3)) where f(u, v) = u * (u^2 - 3*u + 3) * (v^2 - 3*v + 3) - v^3.
a(3*n + 1) = 0. a(3*n) = 0 unless n=0. a(3*n - 1) = A062242(n). a(2*n) = A139032(n). a(6*n + 2) = A092848(n). a(6*n - 1) = A132179(n).
A132976(n) = -(-1)^n * a(n). Convolution inverse of A124243.
G.f.: 1 + x^(-1) * Product_{k>0} (1 - x^(18*k - 9))^3 / (1 - x^(6*k - 3)).
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1/q + 1 + q^2 + q^5 - q^8 - q^11 + q^17 + 2*q^20 - 2*q^26 - 3*q^29 + ...
