FORMULA
Euler transform of period 16 sequence [ -1, -2, -2, -1, -2, -1, -1, -2, -1, -1, -2, -1, -2, -2, -1, -2, ...].
a(n) = - A030204(2*n + 1).
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 - x - 2*x^2 + 2*x^4 + 2*x^5 + x^7 - 2*x^8 - 2*x^9 - x^10 + ...
G.f. = q^9 - q^25 - 2*q^41 + 2*q^73 + 2*q^89 + q^121 - 2*q^137 - 2*q^153 + ...
MATHEMATICA
a[ n_]:= SeriesCoefficient[EllipticTheta[4, 0, q]*QPochhammer[-q^1, q^8]* QPochhammer[-q^7, q^8]*QPochhammer[q^8], {q, 0, n}];
