COMMENTS

This sequence has the same growth rate as the Fibonacci sequence, since x^4-x^3-x-1 has the real roots phi and -1/phi.

The Ca1 sums, see A180662 for the definition of these sums, of triangle A035607 equal the terms of this sequence without the first term. [Johannes W. Meijer, Aug 05 2011]

FORMULA

G.f.: (x-1) * (1+x+x^2) / ((x^2+x-1) * (x^2+1)). a(n) = ( (-1)^floor(n/2) * A010684(n) + 2*A000032(n))/5. a(2*n)=A061646(n). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jul 22 2010]

From Johannes W. Meijer, Aug 05 2011: (Start)

  a(n) = F(n-1) + A070550(n-4) with F(n) = A000045(n).

  a(n) = F(n-1) + F(floor((n-4)/2)+1)*F(ceil((n-4)/2)+2) (End)

a(n)=1/5*((Sqrt[5]-1)*(1/2*(1+Sqrt[5]))^n-(1+Sqrt[5])*(1/2*(1- Sqrt[5]))^n+ sin((Pi*n)/2)-3*cos((Pi*n)/2)) [From Harvey P. Dale, Nov 08 2011]

(-1)^n * a(-n) = a(n) = F(n) - A070550(n - 6). - Michael Somos, Feb 05 2012
