FORMULA

Expansion of chi(-q)^8 in powers of q where chi() is a Ramanujan theta function. - Michael Somos Aug 18 2007

Expansion of q^(-1/3) * (eta(q) / eta(q^2))^8 in powers of q. - Michael Somos Aug 18 2007

Euler transform of period 2 sequence [ -8, 0, ...]. - Michael Somos Aug 18 2007

Given g.f. A(x), then B(x) = A(x^3)/x satisfies 0 = f(B(x), B(x^2)) where f(u, v) = v^2 - u^2 * v - 16 * u. - Michael Somos Aug 18 2007

G.f. is a Fourier series which satisfies f(-1/(2 t)) = 16/ f(t) where q = exp(2 pi i t). - Michael Somos Aug 18 2007

EXAMPLE

T6F = 1/q - 8q^2 + 28q^5 - 64q^8 + 134q^11 - 288q^14 + 568q^17 + ...

PROGRAM

(PARI) {a(n)=local(A); if(n<0, 0, A=x*O(x^n); polcoeff( (eta(x+A)/eta(x^2+A))^8, n))}
