COMMENTS

a(n) = (5/n), where (k/n) is the Kronecker symbol.

L(1;5) (Dirichlet L-series) is the integral from 0 to 1 of the g.f. of a(n+1). Partial sums are A092202. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 01 2005

Contribution from R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jul 15 2010, simplified Jul 27 2010: (Start)

The sequence is the real non-principal Dirichlet character mod 5 (The principal character mod 5 is A011558.)

Associated Dirichlet L-functions are for example L(1,chi) = sum_{n>=1} a(n)/n = A086466 or L(2,chi)= sum_{n>=1} a(n)/n^2 = 0.7062114... = 4*Pi^2/(25*sqrt(5)). (End)

FORMULA

If n==0 (mod 5) a(n)=0; if n==1 or 4 (mod 5) a(n)=1; if n==2 or 3 (mod 5) a(n)=-1.
