COMMENTS

In general, the expansion of (1-x)/(1-2x+(m+1)x^2) has general term given by a(n)=sum{k=0..floor(n/2), C(n,2k)(-m)^k}=((1+sqrt(-m))^n+(1-sqrt(-m))^n)/2.

Binomial transform of [1, 0, -3, 0, 9, 0, -27, 0, 81, 0, ...]=: powers of -3 with interpolated zeros . [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Dec 02 2008]

FORMULA

a(n)=Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}A098158(n,k)*(-3)^(n-k). [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 14 2008]

a(n)=2*a(n-1)-4*a(n-2), a(0)=1, a(1)=1 . a(n)=Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}A098158(n,k)*(-3)^(n-k). [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 14 2008]

a(n)=Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}A124182(n,k)*(-4)^(n-k). [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 15 2008]

a(n)=(1/2)*{[1-I*sqrt(3)]^n+[1+I*sqrt(3)]^n}, with n>=0 and I=sqrt(-1) [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Nov 18 2008]

a(n)=2^n*cos(pi*n/3) [From Richard Choulet (richardchoulet(AT)yahoo.fr), Nov 19 2008]

a(n) = -8 * a(n-3). - Paul Curtz, Apr 22 2011
