FORMULA

Euler transform of length 8 sequence [ -1, 1, 0, -2, 0, 0, 0, 1].

a(-1 - n) = a(n). a(n + 4) = - a(n).

G.f.: (1 - x) * (1 + x^2) / (1 + x^4).

a(n)=(1/4)*{-[(n+1) mod 8]+[(n+2) mod 8]-[(n+3) mod 8]+[(n+5) mod 8]-[(n+6) mod 8]+[(n+7) mod 8]}, with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Aug 25 2008]

EXAMPLE

1 - x + x^2 - x^3 - x^4 + x^5 - x^6 + x^7 + x^8 - x^9 + x^10 - x^11 + ...

PROG

(PARI) {a(n) = (-1)^(n + n \ 4)}

CROSSREFS

Convolution inverse of A143432.
