FORMULA
G.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n satisfies the following.
(1) 2 = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} x^(4*n) * (1 - x^n)^(4*n) * A(x)^n.
(2) 2 = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} x^(4*n*(n-1)) / ((1 - x^n)^(4*n) * A(x)^n).
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 + 4*x + 10*x^2 + 20*x^3 + 36*x^4 + 60*x^5 + 94*x^6 + 140*x^7 + 204*x^8 + 292*x^9 + 474*x^10 + 756*x^11 + 1556*x^12 + ...
where 2 = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} x^(4*n) * (1 - x^n)^(4*n) * A(x)^n.
