a(n) = A108299(n-3,n)*(-1)^floor(n/2) for n>2. - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Jun 01 2005

For n>=i,i=6,7, a(n-i) is the number of incongruent two-color bracelets of n beads, i from them are black (Cf. A005513, A032280), having a diameter of symmetry. The latter means the following: if to imagine (0,1)-beads as points (with the corresponding labels) dividing a circumference of a bracelet in n the same parts, then a diameter of symmetry is a diameter (connecting or not two beads) such that a 180 degree turn around it of one of two sets of points (obtained by splitting circumference by this diameter) leads to the coincidence of the two sets (including their labels). - Vladimir Shevelev (shevelev(AT)bgu.ac.il), May 3 2011

From Johannes W. Meijer, May 20 2011: (Start)

The Kn11, Kn12, Kn13, Fi1 and Ze1 triangle sums, see A180662 for their definitions, of the Connell-Pol triangle A159797 are linear sums of shifted versions of the duplicated tetrahedral numbers, e.g. Fi1(n) = a(n-1) + 5*a(n-2) + a(n-3) + 5*a(n-4).

The Kn11, Kn12, Kn13, Kn21, Kn22, Kn23, Fi1, Fi2, Ze1 and Ze2 triangle sums of the Connell sequence A001614 as a triangle are also linear sums of shifted versions of the sequence given above. (End)

FORMULA

a(n) =A006918(n+1)-a(n-1). a(2*n)=a(2*n+1)=A000292(n)=(n+1)*(n+2)*(n+3)/6.

a(n)=(2*n^3+21*n^2+67*n+63)/96+(n^2+7*n+11)(-1)^n/32. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Aug 19 2003

CROSSREFS

Cf. A057884. Sum of 2 consecutive terms gives A006918, whose sum of 2 consecutive terms gives A002623, whose sum of 2 consecutive terms gives A000292, which is this sequence without the duplication. Continuing to sum 2 consecutive terms gives A000330, A005900, A001845, A008412 successively.
