Coefficients of polynomials vs trigonometric product

Let's consider the family of sequences of coefficients in the expansion $$\prod_{i=0}^{n-1}(1+x^{3^i}+x^{3^{i+1}})=\sum_{k\geq0}a_n(k)\, x^k.$$ Remark. Evidently, the RHS is a finite sum. Here is a ...

Generalized Puiseux series for diagonal reflections of the curves $y = \frac{x}{(1-ax)(1-bx)^m}$

Reflection of the curve $y = f_m(x) = \frac{x}{(1-ax)(1-bx)^m}$ through the diagonal line $y=x$ in the $xy$-plane can be regarded as local compositional inversion of the curve $y=f_m(x)$. ($x,y,a,b$ ...

Extract this constant term

Given a Laurent polynomial $F$ in the variables $\mathbf{t}=(t_1,\dots,t_n)$, let $CT_{\vec{\mathbf{t}}}\,F$ denote its constant term. For example, $CT_{t_1,t_2}((8t_1-\frac1{3t_1t_2})(5t_1t_2+t_2^2+\...

When does the Taylor coefficient of $e^{\sin x}$ vanish?

If $f(x)=\frac{a_1}{1!}x+\frac{a_2}{2!}x^2+\frac{a_3}{3!}x^3+\frac{a_4}{4!}x^4+\cdots$ is an exponential generating function for $\{a_k\}_{k\geq1}$ then $$e^{f(x)}=1+\frac{a_1}{1!}x+\frac{a_1^2+a_2}{2!...

Triangular and pentagonal numbers in $q$-series

Consider the following two infinite series $$\sum_{n\geq0}a(n)q^n=\prod_{k\geq1}\frac1{(1-q^k)^2(1-q^{5k})^2} \,\,\,\, \text{and} \,\,\, \sum_{n\geq0}b(n)q^n=\prod_{k\geq1}\frac1{(1-q^k)^2(1-q^{7k})^2}...
