FORMULA

Euler transform of length 6 sequence [ 2, 0, 2, 0, 0, -1]. - Michael Somos Aug 03 2006

a(-n)=a(n)=ceiling(n^2/3).

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

a(0)=0, a(1)=1, a(2)=2, a(3)=3, a(4)=6, a(n)=2*a(n-1)-a(n-2)+a(n-3)- 2*a(n-4)+a(n-5) [From Harvey P. Dale, June 20 2011]
