COMMENTS
Cf. property described by Gary Detlefs in A113801: more generally, these numbers are of the form (2*h*n+(h-4)*(-1)^n-h)/4 (h, n natural numbers), therefore ((2*h*n+(h-4)*(-1)^n-h)/4)^2-1 == 0 (mod h); in this case, a(n)^2-1 == 0 (mod 7). - Bruno Berselli, Nov 17 2010
FORMULA
a(1) = 1; a(n) = 7(n-1) - a(n-1). - Rolf Pleisch, Jan 31 2008 (corrected by Jon E. Schoenfield, Dec 22 2008)
a(n) = (7/2)*(n-(1-(-1)^n)/2) - (-1)^n. - Rolf Pleisch, Nov 02 2010
From Bruno Berselli, Nov 17 2010: (Start)
G.f.: x*(1+5*x+x^2)/((1+x)*(1-x)^2).
a(n) = -a(-n+1) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) - a(n-3).
a(n) = a(n-2)+7.
a(n) = 7*A000217(n-1)+1 - 2*Sum_{i=1..n-1} a(i) for n > 1. (End)
a(n) = 7*floor(n/2)+(-1)^(n+1). - Gary Detlefs, Dec 29 2011
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = (Pi/7)*cot(Pi/7) = A019674 * A178818. - Amiram Eldar, Dec 04 2021
E.g.f.: 1 + ((14*x - 7)*exp(x) + 3*exp(-x))/4. - David Lovler, Sep 01 2022
