COMMENTS

Similarly, the principle of interlacing a sequence and its first differences

leads from A000012 and its differences A000004 to A059841, or from

A140811 and its first differences A017593 to a sequence -1,6,5,18,...

Table of n, a(n) for n=0..59.

FORMULA

a(2n)=A005408(n). a(2n+1)=2.

First differences: a(n+1)-a(n) = (-1)^(n+1)*A109613(n-1), n>0.

b(2n)= -A008586(n), and b(2n+1)=A060747(n), where b(n)=a(n+1)-2*a(n).

a(n)=2*a(n-2)-a(n-4). G.f.: (1+2*x+x^2-2*x^3)/((x-1)^2*(1+x)^2). - R. J. Mathar, Feb 23 2009
