FORMULA

1) Continued fraction of (8 + Sqrt[78])/14 2) GCD[4 k - k^2, 5 k^2, 20 k - 20 k^2, 16 - 32 k + 16 k^2] k=1,2,3,...

Contribution from Artur Jasinski (grafix(AT)csl.pl), Oct 29 2008: (Start)

a(n)=1 when n congruent to 1 or 3 mod 4

a(n)=4 when n congruent to 2 mod 4

a(n)=16 when n congruent to 0 mod 4

(End)

a(n+4)=a(n); a(n)=4.5*(-1)^(n+1) + 5.5 + 6*cos(Pi*(n+1)/2) ; o.g.f f(z)=a(0)+a(1)*z+...=(1+4*+z^2+16*z^3)/(1-z^4) [From Richard Choulet (richardchoulet(AT)yahoo.fr), Nov 03 2008]

a(n)=(1/6)*{28*(n mod 4)-17*[(n+1) mod 4]+10*[(n+2) mod 4]+[(n+3) mod 4]}, with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Nov 06 2008]

a(n)=(11/2)+3*I^(n+1)-(9/2)*(-1)^n-3*I^(1-n), with n>=0 and I=sqrt(-1) [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), May 04 2010]
