A coefficient identity involving a double Lambert series

About 1 year old · traced to

Let rr be a positive integer, and let [qk]F(q)[q^k]F(q) denote the coefficient of qkq^k in F(q)F(q). Coefficient conjecture. Then

[q2r]∑m,n≥1q2mn(1+q2n−1)(1−q2m−1)=[q2r]∑n≥1(n−1)qn1+q2n−1.[q^{2r}]\sum_{m,n\geq1}\frac{q^{2mn}}{(1+q^{2n-1})(1-q^{2m-1})}=[q^{2r}]\sum_{n\geq1}\frac{(n-1)q^n}{1+q^{2n-1}}.

This is a proposed coefficient relation between two Lambert-series expressions and is presented as the second conjecture concluding the section. The source gives no resolution or supporting result sufficient to classify it otherwise.
