COMMENTS

Also number of 0's in n-th row of triangle in A071026. - Hans Havermann (gladhobo(AT)teksavvy.com), May 26 2002

Conjecture: this is 0 followed by A026922. [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Oct 05 2008]

FORMULA

a(n)=C[a(n-1),a(n-2)]-(-1)^n*C[a(n-2),a(n-3)], with a(0)=0, a(1)=0, a(2)=1. - Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Feb 25 2008

a(n)=a(n-1)+a(n-4)-a(n-5). G.f.: x^3*(1-x+x^2)/(1-x-x^4+x^5). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Dec 29 2001

Exponent of 2 in factorization of A030436(n-1) and A026655(n-1). First differences of A056837. - R. Stephan, Mar 21 2004

a(n)=-1/8-[1/8+(1/8)*I]*I^n+(3/8)*(-1)^n+(1/4)*n-[1/8-(1/8)*I]*(-I)^n, with n>=0 and I=sqrt(-1) [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Oct 03 2008]

Euler transform of length 6 sequence [ 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, -1]. - Michael Somos Oct 14 2008

a(3 - n) = -a(n). - Michael Somos Oct 14 2008

EXAMPLE

Consider the number 13. The following partitions give a nondegenerate triangle: 4 4 5; 3 5 5; 1 6 6; 2 5 6; 3 4 6. Since the first three partitions represent isosceles triangles, we have A059169(13)=3.

MAPLE

a[1] := 0:a[2] := 0:a[3] := 1:a[4] := 0:a[5] := 1:for n from 6 to 300 do a[n] := a[n-1]+a[n-4]-a[n-5]:end do:seq(a[i], i=1..300);

PROG

(PARI) {a(n) = (n - 1) \ 2 - (n \ 4)} /* Michael Somos Oct 14 2008 */

(PARI) {a(n) = if( n<1, -a(3 - n), polcoeff( x^3 * (1 - x + x^2) / (1 - x - x^4 + x^5) + x * O(x^n), n))} /* Michael Somos Oct 14 2008 */

CROSSREFS

Essentially the same as A008624.

A059169(n) = A005044(n)-A005044(n-9).

A004526(n) = a(2*n + 2) = a(2*n - 1).

Sequence in context: A029363 A033922 A008624 * A026922 A178696 A161090

Adjacent sequences:  A059166 A059167 A059168 * A059170 A059171 A059172
