FORMULA
Expansion of q * f(-q, -q^7)^2 * phi(q^2) / psi(-q) = q * f(-q, -q^7)^2 * chi(q^2)^2 / chi(-q) in powers of q where phi(), psi(), f() are Ramanujan theta functions.
Euler transform of period 8 sequence [ -1, 2, 1, -2, 1, 2, -1, -2, ...].
Moebius transform is period 8 sequence [ 1, -2, 1, 0, -1, 2, -1, 0, ...].
EXAMPLE
G.f. = q - q^2 + 2*q^3 - q^4 + 2*q^6 - q^8 + 3*q^9 - 4*q^10 + 2*q^11 + ...
