COMMENT

This is the q-expansion of the Gamma(5)-modular function Lambda given for example in Erdelyi et al., Higher Transc. Fns. eq. 44 volume 3 page 24 sec. 14.6.3 - Warren Smith.

Euler transform of period 5 sequence [1,-1,-1,1,0,...].

G.f. is reciprocal of that for the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction r(tau) - see A007325.
