a(n)*(-1)^(n+1) = (2*(1-T(n,-3/2))/5), n>=0, with Chebyshev's polynomials T(n,x) of the first kind, is the r=-1 member of the r-family of sequences S_r(n) defined in A092184 where more information can be found. - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 18 2004
Determinant of power series with alternate signs of gamma matrix with determinant 1!.
a(n) = Determinant(A - A^2 + A^3 - A^4 + A^5 - ... - (-1)^n*A^n) where A is the submatrix A(1..2,1..2) of the matrix with factorial determinant.
A = [[1,1,1,1,1,1,...], [1,2,1,2,1,2,...], [1,2,3,1,2,3,...], [1,2,3,4,1,2,...], [1,2,3,4,5,1,...], [1,2,3,4,5,6,...], ...]; note: Determinant A(1..n,1..n) = (n-1)!.
a(n) is even with respect to signs of power of A.
Equals the INVERT transform of (1, 3, 2, 2, 2, ...). Example: a(7) = 169 = (1, 1, 4, 9, 25, 64) dot (2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 1) = (2 + 2 + 8 + 18 + 75 + 64). - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 27 2009
This is a divisibility sequence.
a(n+1)*(-1)^n, n>=0, is the sequence of the alternating row sums of the Riordan triangle A158454. - Wolfdieter Lang, Dec 18 2010
a(n+1) is the number of tilings of a 2 X 2n rectangle with n tetrominoes of any shape, cf. A230031. - Alois P. Heinz, Nov 29 2013
This is the case P1 = 1, P2 = -6, Q = 1 of the 3 parameter family of 4th-order linear divisibility sequences found by Williams and Guy. - Peter Bala, Mar 31 2014
a(n+1) is the number of 2 X n matrices that can be obtained from a 2 X n matrix by moving each element to an adjacent position, horizontally or vertically. This is because F(n+1) is the number of domino tilings of that matrix, therefore with a checkerboard coloring and two domino tilings we can move the black element of each domino of the first tiling to the white element of the same domino and similarly move the white element of each domino of the second tiling to the black element of the same domino. - Fabio Visonà, May 04 2022
In general, squaring the terms of a second-order linear recurrence with signature (c,d) will result in a third-order linear recurrence with signature (c^2+d,(c^2+d)*d,-d^3). - Gary Detlefs, Jan 05 2023

FORMULA

G.f.: x*(1-x)/((1+x)*(1-3*x+x^2)).
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) - a(n-3), n > 2. a(0)=0, a(1)=1, a(2)=1.
a(-n) = a(n) for all n in Z.
L.g.f.: 1/5*log((1+3*x+x^2)/(1-6*x+x^2)) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)/n*x^n; special case of l.g.f. given in A079291. - Joerg Arndt, Apr 13 2011
a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1; a(n) = a(n-1) + Sum(a(n-i)) + k, 0 <= i < n where k = 1 when n is odd, or k = -1 when n is even. E.g., a(2) = 1 = 1 + (1 + 1 + 0) - 1, a(3) = 4 = 1 + (1 + 1 + 0) + 1, a(4) = 9 = 4 + (4 + 1 + 1 + 0) - 1, a(5) = 25 = 9 + (9 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 0) + 1. - Sadrul Habib Chowdhury (adil040(AT)yahoo.com), Mar 02 2004
a(n) = (2*Fibonacci(2*n+1) - Fibonacci(2*n) - 2*(-1)^n)/5. - Ralf Stephan, May 14 2004
Sum_{j=0..2*n} binomial(2*n,j)*a(j) = 5^(n-1)*A005248(n+1) for n >= 1. [P. Stanica; Sum_{j=0..2*n+1} binomial(2*n+1,j)*a(j) = 5^n*A001519(n+1) [P. Stanica]. - R. J. Mathar, Oct 16 2006
a(n) = (-1)^k*(Fibonacci(n+k)^2-Fibonacci(k)*Fibonacci(2*n+k)), for any k. - Gary Detlefs, Dec 13 2010
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - a(n-2) + 2*(-1)^(n+1), n > 1. - Gary Detlefs, Dec 20 2010
a(n) = Fibonacci(2*n-2) + a(n-2). - Gary Detlefs, Dec 20 2010
a(n) = (Fibonacci(3*n) - 3*(-1)^n*Fibonacci(n))/(5*Fibonacci(n)), n > 0. - Gary Detlefs, Dec 20 2010
a(n) = (Fibonacci(n)*Fibonacci(n+4) - 3*Fibonacci(n)*Fibonacci(n+1))/2. - Gary Detlefs, Jan 17 2011
a(n) = (((3+sqrt(5))/2)^n + ((3-sqrt(5))/2)^n - 2*(-1)^n)/5; without leading zero we would have a(n) = ((3+sqrt(5))*((3+sqrt(5))/2)^n + (3-sqrt(5))*((3-sqrt(5))/2)^n + 4*(-1)^n)/10. - Tim Monahan, Jul 17 2011
E.g.f.: (exp((phi+1)*x) + exp((2-phi)*x) - 2*exp(-x))/5, with the golden section phi:=(1+sqrt(5))/2. From the Binet-de Moivre formula for F(n). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 13 2012
a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1; a(n+1) = (a(n)^(1/2) + a(n-1)^(1/2))^2. - Thomas Ordowski, Jan 06 2013
a(n) = ( T(n,alpha) - T(n,beta) )/(alpha - beta), where alpha = 3/2 and beta = -1 and T(n,x) denotes the Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind.
a(n) = the bottom left entry of the 2 X 2 matrix T(n, M), where M is the 2 X 2 matrix [0, 3/2; 1, 1/2].
a(n) = U(n-1,i/2)*U(n-1,-i/2), where U(n,x) denotes the Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind.
See the remarks in A100047 for the general connection between Chebyshev polynomials and 4th-order linear divisibility sequences. (End)
0 = a(n)*(+a(n) - 2*a(n+1) - 2*a(n+2)) + a(n+1)*(+a(n+1) - 2*a(n+2)) + a(n+2)*(+a(n+2)) for all n in Z. - Michael Somos, Jun 03 2014
(F(n)*b(n+2))^2 + (F(n+1)*b(n-1))^2 = F(2*n+1)^3 = A001519(n+1)^3, with b(n) = a(n) + 2*(-1)^n and F(n) = A000045(n) (see Bruckman link). - Michel Marcus, Jan 24 2015
a(n) = 1/4*( a(n-2) - a(n-1) - a(n+1) + a(n+2) ). The same recurrence holds for A001254. - Peter Bala, Aug 18 2015
For n>2, a(n) = F(n-2)*(3*F(n-1) + F(n-3)) + F(2*n-5). Also, for n>2 a(n)=2*F(n-3)*F(n) + F(2*n-3) -(2)*(-1)^n. - J. M. Bergot, Nov 05 2015

a(n) = (F(n-2)*F(n+2) + F(n-1)*F(n+1))/2. - J. M. Bergot, May 25 2017
a(n) = F(n+k)*F(n-k) + (-1)^(n+k)*a(k), for every integer k >= 0. - Federico Provvedi, Dec 10 2018
Sum_{n >= 3} 1/(a(n) - 1/a(n)) = 4/9.
Sum_{n >= 3} (-1)^n/(a(n) - 1/a(n)) = (10 - 3*sqrt(5))/18.
Conjecture: Sum_{n >= 1, n != 2*k+1} 1/(a(n) + (-1)^n*a(2*k+1)) = 1/a(4*k+2) for k = 0,1,2,.... (End)
