COMMENTS
Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).
Zagier (2009) refers to Case D corresponding to the Apery numbers (A005258).

FORMULA
Expansion of f(-q)^2 * (f(-q^5) / f(-q, -q^4))^5 = f(-q^2, -q^3)^2 * (f(-q^5) / f(-q, -q^4))^3 in powers of q where f() is a Ramanujan theta function.

G.f. = g(t(q)) where g(), t() are the g.f. for A005258 and A078905.
G.f.: (Product_{k>0} (1 - x^k)^2) / (Product_{k>0} (1 - x^(5*k - 1)) * (1 - x^(5*k - 4)))^5.
EXAMPLE
G.f. = 1 + 3*q + 4*q^2 + 2*q^3 + q^4 + 3*q^5 + 6*q^6 + 4*q^7 - q^9 + ...
