FORMULA
Expansion of (chi(-x) * psi(x^3))^2 in powers of x where chi(), psi() are Ramanujan theta functions.
Expansion of q^(-2/3) * (eta(q) * eta(q^6)^2 / (eta(q^2) * eta(q^3)))^2 in powers of q.
Euler transform of period 6 sequence [ -2, 0, 0, 0, -2, -2, ...].
a(n) = (-1)^n * A122856(n). Convolution square of A089802.
a(2*n) = A122865(n). a(4*n +1) = -2 * A121444(n). a(4*n + 2) = A122856(n). a(4*n + 3) = a(8*n + 4) = 0. a(8*n) = A002175(n). a(8*n + 2) = A122856(n).
2 * a(n) = -A258210(3*n + 2). - Michael Somos, May 01 2016
