COMMENTS
The denominator is a parameterization of the Alexander polynomial for the knot 6_3. 1/(1-3*x+5*x^2-3*x^3+x^4) is the image of the g.f. of A057083 under the modified Chebyshev transform A(x)->(1/(1+x^2)^2)A(x/(1+x^2)).
FORMULA
G.f.: (1-x)*(1+x)*(1+x^2)/(1-3x+5x^2-3x^3+x^4); - corrected Nov 24 2012
a(n)=A099446(n)-A099446(n-2).
