COMMENTS

This is a divisibility sequence; that is, if n divides m, then a(n) divides a(m).

FORMULA

a(n) = (a(n-1) * a(n-3) + a(n-2)^2) / a(n-4), a(n) = (-a(n-1) * a(n-4) + 5 * a(n-2) * a(n-3)) / a(n-5), a(2*n + 1) = a(n+2) * a(n)^3 - a(n-1) * a(n+1)^3, a(2*n) = a(n+2) * a(n) * a(n-1)^2 - a(n) * a(n-2) * a(n+1)^2.

a(-n) = -a(n). a(n) = A006769(2*n). a(n)^2 = A028937(n). |a(n)|^3 = A028939(n).

PROG

(PARI) an = vector(200); an = concat([ 1, 1, -1, -5 ], an); for( n=5, length(an), an[ n ]=(an[ n-1 ] * an[ n-3 ] + an[ n-2 ]^2) / an[ n-4 ]); a(n) = an[ n ]

(PARI) {a(n) = local(v = [1, 1, -1, -5]); if( n<0, -a(-n), if( n==0, 0, if( n<5, v[n], v = concat( v, vector(n - 4)); for( k=5, n, v[k] = (v[k-1] * v[k-3] + v[k-2]^2) / v[k-4]); v[n])))} /* Michael Somos, Feb 12 2012 */
