FORMULA
Expansion of q * f(-q, -q^7)^2 * phi(q) / psi(-q) = q * f(-q, -q^7)^2 * chi(q)^3 in powers of q where phi(), psi(), f() are Ramanujan theta functions.
Euler transform of period 8 sequence [1, -3, 3, 0, 3, -3, 1, -2, ...].
Moebius transform is period 8 sequence [1, 0, -3, 0, 3, 0, -1, 0, ...].
EXAMPLE
G.f. = q + q^2 - 2*q^3 + q^4 + 4*q^5 - 2*q^6 + q^8 - q^9 + 4*q^10 - 2*q^11 + ...
