COMMENTS

Starting with (a(-1), a(0), a(1), a(2)) = (1, 0, 1, -1) gives the subsequence called the "anti-Fibonacci numbers" [see Wikipedia]. The ratio of successive anti-Fibonacci numbers converges to -1/phi. - Jonathan Vos Post, Dec 10 2006

Comment from Bill Gosper, May 28 2008: Let a[n]:=fib[n]*(-1)^binom(n,2). Then a[m-n]*a[m+n] = a[m+1]*a[m-1]*a[n]^2 - a[n+1]*a[n-1]*a[m]^2. This plus gcd(f[n],f[m]) = |f[gcd(n,m)]| makes a[] a strong elliptic divisibility sequence. Likewise fib[n]*(-1)^binom(n-1,2), but no other asSIGNation (mod scaling).

The sequence a(n), n>=0 := 0,1,-1,2,-3,5,-8,13,... is the inverse binomial transform of A000045. [From Philippe DELEHAM, Oct 28 2008]

Equals the INVERTi transform of A038754, assuming that an additional A038754(0)=1 is added in front of A038754, and that the a(n) are prefixed with another 1 and then get offset 0. - Gary W. Adamson, Jan 08 2011

If we remove a(-2) and then set the offset to 0, we have the INVERT transform of a signed A011782: (1, -1, 2, -4, 8, -16, 32,...).- Gary W. Adamson, Jan 08 2011
