%N Numbers that are congruent to {0, 1, 4, 7} mod 8.

%C Related to a Chebyshev transform of A046055. See A074231. - _Paul Barry_, Oct 27 2004

%C Starting (1, 4, 7, ...) = partial sums of (1, 3, 3, 1, 1, 3, 3, 1, 1, 3, 3, 1, 1, ...). - _Gary W. Adamson_, Jun 19 2008

%C The product of any two terms belongs to the sequence and therefore also a(n)^2, a(n)^3, a(n)^4 etc. - _Bruno Berselli_, Nov 28 2012

%C Nonnegative m such that floor(k*(m/4)^2) = k*floor((m/4)^2), where k can assume the values from 4 to 15. See also the second comment in A047513. - _Bruno Berselli_, Dec 03 2015

%F From _Paul Barry_, Oct 27 2004: (Start)

%F G.f.: x^2*(1+x)^2 / ((1+x^2)*(1-2*x+x^2)).

%F E.g.f.: 2*x*exp(x)-sin(x).

%F a(n) = 2*n-2-sin(Pi*(n-1)/2).

%F a(n) = 2*a(n-1)-2*a(n-2)+2*a(n-3)-a(n-4) for n>4. (End)

%F a(n) = 2*n-2-(1+(-1)^n)*(-1)^((2*n-3)/4-(-1)^n/4)/2. - _Wesley Ivan Hurt_, Sep 22 2015

%F a(n) = (-4+(-i)^n+i^n+4*n)/2, where i = sqrt(-1). - _Colin Barker_, Oct 18 2015

%F Sum_{n>=2} (-1)^n/a(n) = (6-sqrt(2))*log(2)/8 + sqrt(2)*log(2+sqrt(2))/4. - _Amiram Eldar_, Dec 20 2021
