COMMENTS
Compare to g.f. of A109064, which is the Lambert series identity:
1 - 5*Sum_{n>=1} L(n,5)*n*x^n/(1-x^n) = eta(x)^5/eta(x^5).
Here L(n,5) is the Legendre symbol given by A080891(n).

FORMULA
G.f.: 1 - 5*Sum_{n>=1} Pell(n)*L(n,5)*n*x^n / (1 - A002203(n)*x^n + (-1)^n*x^(2*n)), where L(n,5) is the Legendre symbol, Pell(n) = A000129(n), and A002203 is the companion Pell numbers.
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 - 5*x + 10*x^2 + 50*x^3 - 180*x^4 - 145*x^5 - 700*x^6 + ...
where A(x) = 1 - 1*5*x + 2*5*x^2 + 5*10*x^3 - 12*15*x^4 - 29*5*x^5 - 70*10*x^6 + 169*30*x^7 + 408*25*x^8 + ... + Pell(n)*A109064(n)*x^n + ...
The g.f. is illustrated by:
A(x) = 1 - 5*(+1)*1*1*x/(1-2*x-x^2) - 5*(-1)*2*2*x^2/(1-6*x^2+x^4) - 5*(-1)*3*5*x^3/(1-14*x^3-x^6) - 5*(+1)*4*12*x^4/(1-34*x^4+x^8) - 5*(0)*5*29*x^5/(1-82*x^5-x^10) - 5*(+1)*6*70*x^6/(1-198*x^6+x^12) + ...
The values of the Legendre symbol L(n,5) repeat: [1,-1,-1,1,0, ...].
The companion Pell numbers (A002203) begin: [2,6,14,34,82,198,478,1154,2786,6726,16238,39202,94642,...].
