Formula

Expansion of q^(-1) * phi(-q) / psi(q^8) in powers of q where phi(), psi() are Ramanujan theta functions.

Expansion of eta(q)^2 * eta(q^8) / (eta(q^2) * eta(q^16)^2) in powers of q.

Euler transform of period 16 sequence [ -2, -1, -2, -1, -2, -1, -2, -2, -2, -1, -2, -1, -2, -1, -2, 0, ...].

G.f. A(q) satisfies 0 = f(A(q), A(q^2)) where f(u, v) = v^2 - u * (u + 4) * (v + 2).

G.f. A(q) satisfies 0 = f(A(q), A(q^3)) where f(u, v) = (u - v)^4 - u * (u^2 + 6*u + 8) * v * (v^2 + 6*v + 8).

G.f. A(q) satisfies 0 = f(A(q), A(q^4)) where f(u, v) = v^4 - u * (u + 4) * (u^2 + 4*u + 8) * (v + 2) * (v^2 + 4*v + 8).

G.f. A(q) satisfies 0 = f(A(q), A(q^5)) where f(u, v) = (u - v)^6 - u * (u + 2) * (u + 4) * (u^2 + 4*u + 8) * v * (v + 2) * (v + 4) * (v^2 + 4*v + 8).

G.f. A(q) satisfies 0 = f(A(q), A(q^2), A(q^3), A(q^6)) where f(u1, u2, u3, u6) = 2 * (u1 - u3)^2 - 2 * u2*u6 + u2*u3 * (u3 + 4) + u1*u6 * (u1 + 4).

G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (16 t)) = 8 g(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t) and g() is the g.f. of A123655.

G.f.: -2 + (1/q) * Product_{k>0} ((1 + q^(8*k - 4)) / (1 + q^(8*k)))^2.

a(4*n - 1) = A029839(n). a(4*n) = 0 unless n=0. a(4*n + 1) = a(4*n + 2) = 0.

Convolution inverse of A123655.

Example

G.f. = 1/q - 2 + 2*q^3 - q^7 - 2*q^11 + 3*q^15 + 2*q^19 - 4*q^23 - 4*q^27 + 5*q^31 + ...
