FORMULA

a(n)=sum{k=0..n, (-1)^(n-k)(C(k,n-k)+4*C(k, n-k-1))}

a(n)=(1/6)*{3*(n mod 6)-[(n+1) mod 6)]-4*[(n+2) mod 6)]-3*[(n+3) mod 6)]+[(n+4) mod 6)]+4*[(n+5) mod 6)]}, with n>=0 - Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Feb 01 2008

a(n)=a(n-1)-a(n-2) ; a(0)=1, a(1)=-3. [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 03 2008]
