FORMULA
Expansion of (phi(q) / phi(q^2))^2 in powers of q where phi() is a Ramanujan theta function.
Expansion of (eta(q^8) / eta(q))^4 * (eta(q^2) / eta(q^4))^14 in powers of q.
Euler transform of period 8 sequence [ 4, -10, 4, 4, 4, -10, 4, 0, ...].
G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (8 t)) = 2 g(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t) and g() is the g.f. of A210066.
G.f.: ( (Sum_{k in Z} x^(k^2)) / (Sum_{k in Z} x^(2*k^2)) )^2 = ( Product_{k>0} (1 + x^k)^2 * (1 + x^(4*k))^2 / (1 + x^(2*k))^5 )^2.
G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^2)) where f(u, v) = (2 - v)^2 - u * (2 - u) * v^2.
Empirical: Sum_{n>=0} a(n)/exp(2*Pi*n) = 34 + 24*sqrt(2) - 4*sqrt(140 + 99*sqrt(2)). - Simon Plouffe, Mar 04 2021
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 + 4*q - 16*q^3 + 56*q^5 - 160*q^7 + 404*q^9 - 944*q^11 + 2072*q^13 + ...
