Formula

Expansion of (1/q) * (chi(-q) * chi(-q^2) * chi(-q^3) * chi(-q^6))^2 in powers of q where chi() is a Ramanujan theta function.

Expansion of (eta(q) * eta(q^3) / (eta(q^4) * eta(q^12)))^2 in powers of q.

Euler transform of period 12 sequence [ -2, -2, -4, 0, -2, -4, -2, 0, -4, -2, -2, 0, ...].

G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (12 t)) = 16 g(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t) and g() is the g.f. for A123647.

Convolution square of A058574. a(2*n) = 0 unless n=0. a(2*n - 1) = A058483(n).

Convolution inverse of A123647. - Michael Somos, Sep 02 2015

G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^2)) where f(u, v) = v^2 - u * (u + 4) * (v + 4). - Michael Somos, Sep 02 2015

Example

G.f. = 1/q - 2 - q + 7*q^3 - 9*q^5 + 10*q^7 - 23*q^9 + 38*q^11 - 47*q^13 + ...

Mathematica

a[ n_] := SeriesCoefficient[ (1/q) (QPochhammer[ q] QPochhammer[ q^3] / (QPochhammer[ q^4] QPochhammer[ q^12]))^2, {q, 0, n}]; (* Michael Somos, Sep 02 2015 *)
