FORMULA
G.f.: (1-x)/(1-2*x^3).
a(n) = (-1)^floor(4n/3)*(2-2*0^mod(n+1,3))^floor((n+1)/3). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, May 09 2015
a(n) = A077958(n) - A077958(n-1). - R. J. Mathar, Mar 04 2018
a(n) = (4^(n/6)/6)*(2 - 2^(2/3) + 2^(5/3)*sin(Pi*(2*n/3 + 5/6)) - 4*sin(Pi*(2*n/3 + 3/2))). - Eric Simon Jacob, Jul 14 2024
