COMMENTS

(1+x)*(1+x^3)*(1+x^5)/((1-x^2)*(1-x^4)*(1-x^6)) is the Poincare series (or Molien series) for symmetric invariants in F_2(b_1, b_2, ... b_n) \otimes E(e_1, e_2, ... e_n) with b_i 2-dimensional, e_i one-dimensional and the permutation action of S_n, in the case n=3.

FORMULA

Euler transform of length 10 sequence [1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1]. - Michael Somos, Aug 24 2005

G.f.: x^5*(1+x^5)/((1-x)*(1-x^3)*(1-x^4)).

a(n) = Ceiling ( (n-3)*(n-4)/12 ) if n>=3.

a(1)=0, a(2)=0, a(3)=0, a(4)=0, a(5)=1, a(6)=1, a(7)=1, a(8)=2, a(9)=3, a(n)=2*a(n-1)-2*a(n-2)+3*a(n-3)-3*a(n-4)+2*a(n-5)-2*a(n-6)+a(n-7)[From Harvey P. Dale, Dec 18 2011]

EXAMPLE

a(1)=a(2)=a(3)=a(4)=0 because K_4 is planar. a(5)=a(6)=a(7)=1 because K_7 can be embedded on the torus of genus 1.

MAPLE

A000933:=-z**4*(1-z+z**2-z**3+z**4)/(z**2+z+1)/(1+z**2)/(z-1)**3; [S. Plouffe in his 1992 dissertation.]
