Comments

Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).

a(n) = sum of (-1)^((u-1)/6) over all solutions of 48*n + 31 = 4*u^2 + 3*v^2 in integers where u == 1 (mod 6) and v == 3 (mod 8).

Formula

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

G.f.: (Sum_{k} (-1)^k * x^(3*k^2 + k)) * (Sum_{k} x^(4*k^2 + 3*k)).

a(n) = - A143379(2*n+1).

Example

1 + x - x^2 - x^3 - x^4 - x^5 + x^7 - x^9 + 2*x^10 - x^12 + x^15 + x^17 + ...
q^31 + q^79 - q^127 - q^175 - q^223 - q^271 + q^367 - q^463 + 2*q^511 + ...

Mathematica

a[ n_] := SeriesCoefficient[ QPochhammer[ q^2] QPochhammer[ q^8] QPochhammer[ -q^1, q^8] QPochhammer[ -q^7, q^8], {q, 0, n}]

Prog

(PARI) {a(n) = local(s, v); if( n<0, 0, n = 48*n + 31; forstep( u=1, sqrtint( n\4), 2, if( u%3 && issquare( (n - 4*u^2)/3, &v), s += (-1)^((u+1)\6))); s)}
