FORMULA
Expansion of q^(-1/2) * eta(q)^2 * eta(q^4)^9 / (eta(q^2)^5 * eta(q^8)^2) in powers of q.
Euler transform of period 8 sequence [ -2, 3, -2, -6, -2, 3, -2, -4, ...].
G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (32 t)) = 512^(1/2) (t/i)^2 g(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t) and g() is the g.f. for A113419.
a(n) = b(2*n + 1) where b(n) is multiplicative and b(2^e) = 0^e, b(3^e) = (1 - (-3)^(e+1)) / 4, b(p^e) = (-1)^(e * [p/6]) * ((p*f)^(e+1) - 1) / (p*f - 1) where f = Kronecker( 18, p).
a(n) = (-1)^n * A258096(n) = (-1)^floor(n/2) * A113419(n) = (-1)^(n + floor(n/2)) * A113417(n).
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 - 2*x + 4*x^2 - 8*x^3 + 7*x^4 - 10*x^5 + 12*x^6 - 8*x^7 + 18*x^8 + ...
G.f. = q - 2*q^3 + 4*q^5 - 8*q^7 + 7*q^9 - 10*q^11 + 12*q^13 - 8*q^15 + 18*q^17 + ...
