FORMULA

16*(theta_3/theta_2)^4 - 8 = 16/lambda(z) - 8.

Expansion of q*(-8 +16/lambda(z)) in powers of q^2 where nome q = exp(pi*i*z). - Michael Somos Nov 14 2006

Expansion of q*(8 + (eta(q)/eta(q^4))^8) in powers of q^2. - Michael Somos Nov 14 2006

Given g.f. A(x), then B(x)=A(x^2)/x satisfies 0=f(B(x), B(x^2)) where f(u, v) = (v+24)^2 -(v+8)*u^2 . - Michael Somos Nov 14 2006

EXAMPLE

T4C = 1/q + 20*q - 62*q^3 + 216*q^5 - 641*q^7 + 1636*q^9 - 3778*q^11 + ...

PROGRAM

(PARI) 8*x+prod(n=1, 39, if(n%4, 1-x^n, 1), 1+O(x^40))^8

(PARI) {a(n)=local(A); if(n<0, 0, n*=2; A=x*O(x^n); polcoeff( 8*x+(eta(x+A)/eta(x^4+A))^8, n))} /* Michael Somos Nov 14 2006 */

CROSSREFS

A029845(2n-1) = A124972(2n-1) = a(n). - Michael Somos Nov 14 2006.
