FORMULA

G.f.: 1/(1+x).

E.g.f.: exp(-x).

D.g.f.: (2^(1-s)-1)*zeta(s).

Linear recurrence: a(0)=1, a(n)=-a(n-1) for n>0 [Jaume Oliver Lafont, Mar 20 2009]

Sum_{0<=k<=n} a(k) = A059841(n) [Jaume Oliver Lafont, Nov 21 2009]

Sum_{k>=0} a(k)/(k+1) = log(2) [Jaume Oliver Lafont, Mar 30 2010]

Euler transform of length 2 sequence [ -1, 1]. - Michael Somos, Mar 21 2011

Moebius transform is length 2 sequence [ -1, 2]. - Michael Somos, Mar 21 2011

a(n) = -b(n) where b(n) = multiplicative with b(2^e) = 1 if e>1, b(p^e) = -1 if p>2 and e>1. - Michael Somos, Mar 21 2011

a(n) = a(-n) = a(n + 2) = cos( n * pi). a(n) = c_2(n) if n>1 where c_k(n) is Ramanujan's sum. - Michael Somos, Mar 21 2011
