COMMENTS

Arises in connection with leap years, years of U.S. Presidential elections, Olympic Games, etc.

Note that leap years define a sequence with period length 400, unlike A121262 which has period length 4. [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Dec 19 2008]

FORMULA

G.f.: x^4/(1-x^4). [From Mohammad K. Azarian (azarian(AT)evansville.edu), Dec 23 2008]

a(n)=(1/24)*{7*(n mod 4)-5*[(n+1) mod 4]+[(n+2) mod 4]+[(n+3) mod 4]}, with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Feb 06 2009]

a(n)=(1/4)*[1-(-1)^n+I^(1+n)-I^(1-n)], with n>=0 and I=sqrt(-1) [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), May 04 2010]

a(n) = (1+(-1)^n)*(1+I^n)/4 with I=sqrt(-1).  - Bruno Berselli, Mar 14 2011

a(n) = 1/4 -sin(Pi*(n-1)/2)/2+(-1)^n/4. - R. J. Mathar, Oct 08 2011
