COMMENTS

Sequence is 2-regular.

G.f. satisfies A(x)=(1+1/x-x)*A(x^2). - Michael Somos, Sep 17 2003

Contribution from Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 13 2010: (Start)

Let M = a triangular matrix with (1, 1, -1, 0, 0, 0,...) in every column

>k=1 shifted down twice from the previous column. Then A005590 starting

with 1 = Lim_{n->inf} M^n, the left-shifted vector considered as a sequence.
