COMMENTS

The inverse binomial transform yields the sequence (-1)^(n+1)*a(n). This property is inherited from the A000045 and A113405 sequences, which have the same property individually. The same sign flipping behavior under inverse binomial transform is found in A001045 and for the sequence with two zeros followed by A000975.

This is often, but not here, related to the recurrences a(n)=2a(n-1)+a(n-2)-2a(n-3) associated with denominators 1-2x-x^2+2x^3=(x-1)(2x-1)(x+1) in the o.g.f., which transform into the similar -(x-1)(2x+1)/(1+x)^4 under the inverse binomial transform, see A137241.

FORMULA

O.g.f.: x(1-2x-3x^4+x^2)/((1-x-x^2)(2x-1)(1+x)(x^2-x+1)). - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jul 10 2008

a(n)= -A128834(n)/3+2^n/9+A000045(n)-(-1)^n/9. - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jul 10 2008

EXAMPLE

a(n) and the repeated differences in the followup rows are:

0, 1, 1, 3, 5, 9, 15,..

1, 0, 2, 2, 4, 6, 12,..

-1, 2, 0, 2, 2, 6, 10,..

3, -2, 2, 0, 4, 4, 10,..

-5, 4, -2, 4, 0, 6, 6,..

9, -6, 6, -4, 6, 0, 12,..

-15, 12, -10, 10, -6, -12, 0,..

The main diagonal contains zeros.
