FORMULA

a(n)=sum{k=0..floor(n/2), binomial(k, n-2k)(-1)^(n-k)} - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jun 24 2005

a(n) = term (1,1) in matrix [0,1,0; -1,0,1; 1,0,0]^n. a(n) = A000930 (-3-n). - Alois P. Heinz (heinz(AT)hs-heilbronn.de), Jun 20 2008

a(-n) = A078012(n). - Michael Somos May 03 2011

EXAMPLE

1 - x^2 + x^3 + x^4 - 2*x^5 + 3*x^7 - 2*x^8 - 3*x^9 + 5*x^10 + x^11 + ...

MAPLE

a := n -> (Matrix([[0, 1, 0], [ -1, 0, 1], [1, 0, 0]])^n)[1, 1]; seq (a(n), n=0..50); - Alois P. Heinz (heinz(AT)hs-heilbronn.de), Jun 20 2008

PROG

(PARI) {a(n) = if( n<0, n = -n; polcoeff( (1 - x) / (1 - x - x^3) + x * O(x^n), n) , polcoeff( 1 / (1 + x^2 - x^3) + x * O(x^n), n))} /* Michael Somos May 03 2011 */
