FORMULA
Expansion of -3 + psi(q) / (q * psi(q^9)) + 3 * q * psi(q^9) / psi(q) in powers of q where psi() is a Ramanujan theta function.
Expansion of (1/q) * (psi(q^3)^2 / (psi(q) * psi(q^9)))^2 in powers of q where psi() is a Ramanujan theta function.
Expansion of 3 * b(q) * c(q) * (b(q^6)^2 / (b(q^2) * c(q^2) * b(q^3)))^2 in powers of q where b(), c() are cubic AGM theta functions.
Expansion of (eta(q) * eta(q^6)^4 * eta(q^9))^2 / (eta(q^2) * eta(q^3) * eta(q^18))^4 in powers of q.
Euler transform of period 18 sequence [ -2, 2, 2, 2, -2, -2, -2, 2, 0, 2, -2, -2, -2, 2, 2, 2, -2, 0, ...].
G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^2)) where f(u, v) = (v - 1) * (v - u^2) - 4 * v * (u - 1).
G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (18 t)) = g(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t) and g() is the g.f. for A227587. - Michael Somos, Jul 16 2013
