FORMULA
a(n) = n*Kronecker(-1, n) = n * A034947(n). - Andrew Howroyd, Aug 06 2018
EXAMPLE
A003188 begins 0 1 3 2 6 7 5 4 12 13 15 14 10 11 9 ... so
A055975 begins 1 2 -1 4 1 -2 -1 8 1 2 -1 -4 1 -2 ...
Sequence 1, 2,-3, 4, 5,-6,-7, 8, 9, 10,-11,-12, 13,-14, ...
Negative terms are at positions 3,6,7,11,12,14,..., = A091067.
Positive terms are the complement, which is A091072.
