FORMULA
Expansion of eta(q^2) * eta(q^3)^8 * eta(q^18) / (eta(q)^2 * eta(q^6)^4 * eta(q^9)^2) in powers of q.
Euler transform of period 18 sequence [ 2, 1, -6, 1, 2, -3, 2, 1, -4, 1, 2, -3, 2, 1, -6, 1, 2, -2, ...].
a(n) = (-1)^n * A256280(n). a(3*n + 1) = 2 * A258277(n). a(3*n + 2) = 4 * A258278(n). a(4*n) = A256280(n). a(4*n + 3) = a(9*n + 3) = a(9*n + 6) = 0.
a(6*n + 2) = 4 * A122865(n). a(6*n + 4) = -2 * A122856(n). a(9*n) = A104794(n). a(12*n + 1) = A002175(n). a(12*n + 5) = -8 * A121444(n).
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 + 2*q + 4*q^2 - 2*q^4 - 8*q^5 + 4*q^8 - 4*q^9 - 4*q^10 + 4*q^13 + ...
