COMMENTS

Sequence relates bisections of Lucas and Fibonacci numbers.

2*a(n) + A098150(n) = 8*(-1)^(n+1)*A001519(n) - (-1)^(n+1)*A005248(n+1). Apparently, if (z(n)) is any sequence of integers (not all zero) satisfying the formula z(n) = 2(z(n-2) - z(n-1)) + z(n-3) then |z(n+1)/z(n)| -> golden ratio phi + 1 = (3+sqrt(5))/2

FORMULA

G.f.: -(1+4*x)/(1+3*x+x^2).

a(n) = (-1)^n*A002878(n-1). - R. J. Mathar, Jan 30 2011

-a(n+1) = Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}(-5)^k*Binomial(n+k,n-k) = Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}(-5)^k*A085478(n,k) . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 28 2006

a(n)=-(1/2)*[(-3/2)-(1/2)*sqrt(5)]^n+(1/2)*[(-3/2)-(1/2)*sqrt(5)]^n*sqrt(5)-(1/2)*[(-3/2)+(1/2) *sqrt(5)]^n*sqrt(5)-(1/2)*[(-3/2)+(1/2)*sqrt(5)]^n, with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Nov 19 2008]

MATHEMATICA

a[0] = a[1] = -1; a[n_] := a[n] = -3a[n - 2] - a[n - 1]; Table[ a[n], {n, 0, 27}] (from Robert G. Wilson v Sep 01 2004)
