%C Also: partial sums of A092220 shifted by two indices. - _R. J. Mathar_, Feb 08 2008

%C From _Paul Curtz_, Jun 05 2011: (Start)

%C The square array of this sequence in the top row and further rows defined as first differences of preceding rows starts (see A167613):

%C . 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, -1, ...

%C . 0, 1, -1, 0, -1, 1, ... = A092220,

%C . 1, -2, 1, -1, 2, -1, ... = A131556,

%C . -3, 3, -2, 3, -3 2, ...

%C . 6, -5, 5, -6, 5, -5, ...

%C . -11, 10, -11, 11, -10, 11, ...

%C . 21, -21, 22, -21, 21, -22, ...

%C . -42, 43, -43, 42, -43, 43, ...

%C The main diagonal in this array is A001045; the first superdiagonal is the negated elements of A001045, the second superdiagonal is A078008.

%C The left column of the array is basically the inverse binomial transform, (-1)^n * A024495(n), assuming offset 0.

%C The second column of the array is A131708 with alternating signs, and the third column is A024493 with alternating signs (both assuming offset 0). (End)

%F G.f.: x^3/(x+1)/(x^2-x+1). - _R. J. Mathar_, Nov 14 2007

%F a(n) = (-A057079(n+1) - (-1)^n)/3. - _R. J. Mathar_, Jun 13 2011

%F a(n) = -cos(Pi*(n-1)/3)/3 + sin(Pi*(n-1)/3)/sqrt(3) - (-1)^n/3. - _R. J. Mathar_, Oct 08 2011

%F a(n) = ( (-1)^n - (-1)^floor((n+2)/3) )/2. - _Bruno Berselli_, Jul 09 2013

%F a(n) + a(n-3) = 0 for n > 3. - _Wesley Ivan Hurt_, Jun 20 2016
