COMMENTS

a(n+1) is the composition length of the n-th symmetric power of the natural representation of a finite subgroup of SL(2,C) of type E_6 (binary tetrahedral group). - Paul Boddington (psb(AT)maths.warwick.ac.uk), Oct 23 2003

(1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4 + x^5) / ( (1-x^3)*(1- x^4)) is the Poincare series (or Molien series) for H^*(GL_2(F_3)).

The Fi1 and Fi2 sums, see A180662 for the definition of these sums, of triangle A101950 equal the terms of this sequence without the first term. [Johannes W. Meijer, Aug 06 2011]

FORMULA

a(n) = a(n-1)-a(n-2)+a(n-3)+1 = n-A004524(n+1) - Henry Bottomley, Mar 08 2000

G.f.: x*(1-x+x^2)/((1-x)^2*(1+x^2)) = x*(1-x^6)/((1-x)*(1-x^3)*(1-x^4)).

a(n)=-a(-n).

a(n) = floor(n/4) + ceiling(n/4). See also A004396, one even followed by two odd and A002620, quarter-squares: floor(n/2)*ceiling(n/2). - Jonathan Vos Post, Mar 19 2006

a(n+1)=sum{k=0..n, (1+(-1)^comb(k+1,2))/2}; - Paul Barry, Mar 31 2008

E.g.f: A(x)=(x*exp(x)+sin(x))/2 [From Vladimir Kruchinin, Feb 20 2011]

MAPLE
