FORMULA
Expansion of f(q)^6 / f(q^3)^2 in powers of q where f() is a Ramanujan theta function.
Expansion of (eta(q^2)^9 * eta(q^3) * eta(q^12) / (eta(q)^3 * eta(q^4)^3 * eta(q^6)^3))^2 in powers of q.
Euler transform of period 12 sequence [ 6, -12, 4, -6, 6, -8, 6, -6, 4, -12, 6, -4, ...].
G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1 / (36 t)) = 972 (t/i)^2 g(t) where q = exp(2 Pi i t) and g() is the g.f. for A134079.
G.f.: Product_{k>0} (1 - (-x)^k)^6 / (1 - (-x)^(3*k))^2.
Convolution square of A226535.
Empirical: Sum_{n>=0} a(n) / exp(n*Pi) = Pi^(4/3) * 3^(2/3) * Gamma(11/12)^(2/3) / Gamma(2/3)^(2/3) / Gamma(3/4)^(14/3) / (sqrt(2) * (1+3^(1/2)))^(2/3) = A388943. - Simon Plouffe, Sep 21 2025
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 + 6*x + 9*x^2 - 12*x^3 - 42*x^4 - 18*x^5 + 36*x^6 + 48*x^7 + 45*x^8 + ...
