FORMULA

(-1)^(n/2) if n even, n*(-1)^((n-1)/2) if n odd.

a(n) =(n^n mod (n+1))*(-1)^[n/2] for n>0 =(-1)^n*(a(n-2)-a(n-1))-a(n-3) for n>2. - Henry Bottomley (se16(AT)btinternet.com), Oct 19 2001

G.f.: (1+x+x^2-x^3)/(1+x^2)^2. E.g.f: (1+x)*cos(x).

EXAMPLE

tan(1) = 1.557407724654902230... = 1 + 1/(1 + 1/(1 + 1/(3 + 1/(1 + ...)))) [From Harry J. Smith (hjsmithh(AT)sbcglobal.net), Jun 15 2009]

MATHEMATICA

Cos[ x ]*(1+x)
