M. M. Herreshoff, A Combinatorial proof of the summation from k = 0 to n of k times f sub k Presented at The Twelfth International Conference on Fibonacci Numbers and Their Applications.

Index to sequences with linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (1,3,-1,-3,-1).

FORMULA

a(n) = sum from k=0 to n of (-1)^(n-k)*k*f(k) also, when n >= 3, a(n) = nf(n-1) + f(n-3) + (-1)^n where f(n) = F(n+1)

a(n) = (-1)^n+A000045(n)-A001629(n+2)-3*A001629(n+1). - R. J. Mathar, Jul 11 2011

PROG

#!/usr/bin/guile -s Computes the alternating sum of the fibonacci numbers multiplied by their (combinatorial) indices. !# (use-modules (srfi srfi-1)) (define (fibo n) (define (iter a b k) (if (= k n) b (iter b (+ a b) (+ k 1)))) (iter 0 1 0)) (define (a n) (fold + 0 (map (lambda (k) (* k (fibo k) (expt -1 (- n k)))) (iota (+ n 1)))))
