Formula

Expansion of theta_3(q)^2*theta_3(q^3)^2.

G.f.: s(2)^10*s(6)^10/(s(1)*s(3)*s(4)*s(12))^4, where s(k) := subs(q=q^k, eta(q)) and eta(q) is Dedekind's function, cf. A010815. [Fine]

Fine gives an explicit formula for a(n) in terms of the divisors of n.

From Michael Somos, Nov 10 2018: (Start)

Expansion of (a(q) + 2*a(q^4))^2 / 9 = (a(q)^2 - 2*a(q^2)^2 + 4*a(q^4)^2) / 3 in powers of q where a() is a cubic AGM theta function.

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

G.f.: 1 + 4 Sum_{k>0} k x^k / (1 - (-x)^k) Kronecker(9, k).

a(n) = 1 + 4 * A113262(n) = (-1)^n * A134946(n). Convolution square of A033716.

a(n) = 4 * (s(n) - 2*s(n/2) - 3*s(n/3) + 4*s(n/4) + 6*s(n/6) - 12*s(n/12)) if n>0 where s(x) = sum of divisors of x for integer x else 0. (End)
