(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A152490 Determinants of first 4x4 part of A051731 whose columns has been shifted with sequence A152489. 2
1, 0, -1, 0, 0, 1, 0, -1, -1, -1, 1, 1, -1, 0, 1, 0, 0, -1, 0, 1, 1, 1, -1, -1 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)
OFFSET

1,1

COMMENTS

The idea is to shift the columns in A051731 one column one step at a time like the changing symbols in a slot machine. For example a(1)=1 is the unshifted version of A051731 and for a(4)=0, the last column has been shifted 3 steps upwards, which is the fourth value of the mobius function. Sequence contains equally many values of 1,-1 and 0.

EXAMPLE

The 3x3 array is shorter to write down:

By using indices similar to array A152489;

0,0,0; 0,0,1; 0,0,2; 0,1,0; 0,1,1; 0,1,2;

the columns in A051731 are shifted like in a slot machine;

1,0,0; 1,0,0; 1,0,1; 1,1,0; 1,1,0; 1,1,1;

1,1,0; 1,1,1; 1,1,0; 1,0,0; 1,0,1; 1,0,0;

1,0,1; 1,0,0; 1,0,0; 1,1,1; 1,1,0; 1,1,0;

and the determinants are then:

1; 0; -1; -1; 0; 1;
