%N Periodic sequence 1,0,-1,...; expansion of (1+x)/(1+x+x^2).
%C Partial sums of signed sequence is shifted unsigned one: |a(n+2)| = A011655(n+1).
%C With interpolated zeros, a(n) = sin(5*Pi*n/6 + Pi/3)/sqrt(3) + cos(Pi*n/6 + Pi/6)/sqrt(3); this gives the diagonal sums of the Riordan array (1-x^2, x(1-x^2)). - _Paul Barry_, Feb 02 2005
%C From _Tom Copeland_, Nov 02 2014: (Start)
%C With a shift and a sign change the o.g.f. of this array becomes the compositional inverse of the shifted Motzkin or Riordan numbers A005043,
%C (x - x^2) / (1 - x + x^2) = x*(1-x) / (1 - x*(1-x)) = x*(1-x) + [x*(1-x)]^2 + ... . Expanding each term of this series and arranging like powers of x in columns gives skewed rows of the Pascal triangle and reading along the columns gives (mod-signs and indexing) A011973, A169803, and A115139 (see also A091867, A092865, A098925, and A102426 for these term-by-term expansions and A030528).
