Formula

Expansion of phi(-q) * phi(-q^2) * chi(q^3) / chi(-q^3) in powers of q where phi(), chi() are Ramanujan theta functions.

Expansion of eta(q)^2 * eta(q^2) * eta(q^6)^3 / (eta(q^3)^2 * eta(q^4) * eta(q^12)) in powers of q.

Euler transform of period 12 sequence [ -2, -3, 0, -2, -2, -4, -2, -2, 0, -3, -2, -2, ...].

Moebius transform is period 12 sequence [ -2, 0, 8, 0, -2, 0, 2, 0, -8, 0, 2, 0, ...].

a(n) = -2 * b(n) where b() is multiplicative and b(2^e) = 1, b(3^e) = -1 + 2 * (-1)^e, b(p^e) = e+1 if p == 1, 5 (mod 12), b(p^e) = (1 + (-1)^e) / 2 if p == 7, 11 (mod 12).

G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (12 t)) = 12 (t/i) g(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t) and g() is the g.f. for A113446.

G.f.: Product_{k>0} (1 - x^(2*k))^2 * (1 - x^k + x^(2*k))^2 / ((1 + x^(2*k))^2 * (1 - x^(2*k) + x^(4*k))).

G.f.: 1 - 2 * Sum_{k>0} (f(3*k - 2) + f(3*k - 1) - 2 * f(3*k)) where f(n) := x^n / (1 + x^(2*n)).

a(12*n + 7) = a(12*n + 11) = 0. a(2*n) = a(n).

a(n) = -2 * A138950(n) unless n=0. a(2*n + 1) = -2 * A116604(n).

a(3*n + 1) = A122865(n). a(3*n + 2) = -2 * A122856(n). a(4*n + 1) = -2 * A008441(n).

Example

G.f. = 1 - 2*q - 2*q^2 + 6*q^3 - 2*q^4 - 4*q^5 + 6*q^6 - 2*q^8 - 2*q^9 + ...
