COMMENTS

The sequence 0,1,-2,0,8,-16,... has G.f. 1/(1+2x-4x^2), a(n)=2^n*sin(2n*pi/3)/sqrt(3) and is the inverse binomial transform of sin(sqrt(3)x)/sqrt(3):0,1,-3,0,9,...

a(n+1) is the Hankel transform of A100192. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jan 11 2007

a(n+1) is the Trinomial transform of A010892: a(n+1) = Sum[Trinomial[n,k]A010892[k+1], {k, 0, 2n} ] where Trinomial[n, k] = trinomial coefficients (A027907); - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Sep 10 2007

a(n+1) is the Hankel transform of A100067. [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jun 16 2009]

1) a(n)=A131577*A128834 2) Binomial transform of 0,1,0,-3,0,9,0,-27, see A000244. 3) Sequence is identical to every 2n-th differences divided by (-3)^n. 4) a(3n)+a(3n+1)+a(3n+2)=3,-24,192,=3*A001018 signed.

5) For missing terms in a(n) see A013731=4*A001018. [From Paul Curtz (bpcrtz(AT)free.fr), Oct 04 2009]

FORMULA

G.f.: 1/(1-2x+4x^2); E.g.f. : exp(x)sin(sqrt(3)x)/sqrt(3); a(n)=2a(n-1)-4a(n-2), a(0)=0, a(1)=1; a(n)=((1+isqrt(3))^n-(1-isqrt(3))^n)/(2isqrt(3)); a(n)=Im{(1+isqrt(3))^n/sqrt(3)}; a(n)=sum{k=0..floor(n/2), C(n, 2k+1)(-3)^k}.

a(n)=a(n-1)+a(n-2)+2a(n-3). - Paul Curtz, Oct 04 2009

a(n)=2a(n-1)-a(n-2)+2a(n-3). - Paul Curtz, Oct 04 2009

a(n)=a(n-1)+2a(n-2)-a(n-3)-a(n-4). - Paul Curtz, Oct 04 2009
