FORMULA

a_0=1, a_2n = a_n, a_2n+1 = (-1)^n *a_n.

MAPLE

A020985 := proc(n) option remember; if n = 0 then 1 elif n mod 2 = 0 then A020985(n/2) else (-1)^((n-1)/2 )*A020985( (n-1)/2 ); fi; end;

MATHEMATICA

a[0] = 1; a[1] = 1; a[n_?EvenQ] := a[n] = a[n/2]; a[n_?OddQ] := a[n] = (-1)^((n-1)/2)* a[(n-1)/2]; a /@ Range[0, 80] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Jul 05 2011 *)

PROG

(Haskell)

a020985 n = a020985_list !! n

a020985_list = 1 : 1 : f (tail a020985_list) (-1) where

   f (x:xs) w = x : x*w : f xs (0 - w)
