Comments

Cubic AGM theta functions: a(q) (see A004016), b(q) (A005928), c(q) (A005882).

Rogers and Zudilin (2011) page 6: "This identity can be verified by eliminating b(q) with b(q^{1/3}) - b(q) = 3c(q^3) - c(q)."

The zeros of the g.f. A(q) where q = exp(2 Pi i t) are of the form t = (m/2 + sqrt(-3)/18) / n where m is an odd integer and n is in A004611. For example, (1/2 + sqrt(-3)/18) / 1, (1/2 + sqrt(-3)/18) / 7, (5/2 + sqrt(-3)/18) / 13.

Formula

Expansion of c(q^3) / 3 - c(q^9) in powers of q where c() is a cubic AGM theta function.

Expansion of (a(q) - 4*a(q^3) + 3*a(q^9)) / 6 in powers of q where a() is a cubic AGM theta function.

Expansion of (eta(q^3)^4 - eta(q)^3 * eta(q^9)) / (3 * eta(q^3) * eta(q^9)) in powers of q.

a(n) is multiplicative with a(3) = -3, a(3^e) = 0 if e>1, a(p^e) = e+1 if p == 1 (mod 3), a(p^e) = (1 + (-1)^e) / 2 if p == 2 (mod 3).

G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (27 t)) = 27^(1/2) (t/i) f(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t).

a(3*n + 2) = a(4*n + 2) = a(9*n) = a(9*n + 6) = 0. a(3*n + 1) = A033687(n). a(9*n + 3) = -3 * A033687(n).

From Michael Somos, Jun 16 2015: (Start)

a(4*n) = a(n). a(6*n + 1) = A097195(n). a(12*n + 1) = A123884(n). a(12*n + 7) = 2 * A121361(n).

a(n) = Sum_{d|n} A259024(n/d) * [ 0, 1, 0, -2, 0, 1][mod(d, 6) + 1]. (End)

Example

G.f. = q - 3*q^3 + q^4 + 2*q^7 - 3*q^12 + 2*q^13 + q^16 + 2*q^19 - 6*q^21 + ...
