FORMULA
Expansion of eta(q)^2 * eta(q^4)^8 / (eta(q^2) * eta(q^8)^4) in powers of q.
a(4*n) = A245643(n). a(4*n + 1) = -2 * A244276(n). a(4*n + 2) = a(4*n + 3) = 0.
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 - 2*q - 6*q^4 + 16*q^5 + 8*q^8 - 50*q^9 + 16*q^12 + 80*q^13 + ...
MATHEMATICA
a[n_]:= SeriesCoefficient[EllipticTheta[3, 0, -q]*EllipticTheta[3, 0, -q^4 ]^4, {q, 0, n}]; (* corrected by G. C. Greubel, Mar 15 2018 *)
