Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).

In [Klein and Fricke 1890], the g.f. A(q)/2 is denoted by mu. On page 613 special values given are mu(i infinity) = infinity, mu(0) = 1, mu(2) = -1 and on page 615 properties given are mu(omega+1) = -i mu(omega), mu(-1/omega) = (mu(omega)+1)/(mu(omega)-1). - Michael Somos, Nov 09 2014

Examples

			G.f. = 1 + 2*x - x^2 - 2*x^3 + 3*x^4 + 2*x^5 - 4*x^6 - 4*x^7 + 5*x^8 + 8*x^9 + ...
T16B = 1/q + 2*q^3 - q^7 - 2*q^11 + 3*q^15 + 2*q^19 - 4*q^23 - 4*q^27 + ...

From Peter Bala, Jan 09 2021: (Start)

A(q) = Sum_{n = -oo..oo} q^n/(1 - q^(4*n+1)) / Sum_{n = -oo..oo} q^(2*n)/(1 - q^(4*n+1)).

A(q) = ( 1 + q/(1 + (q + q^2)/(1 + q^3/(1 + (q^2 + q^4)/(1 + q^5/(1 + ... ))))) )^2. See Agarwal, p. 285.

A(q) = B(q)^2, where B(q) is the g.f. of A029838. (End)
