%N Even numbers in an alternating 1-based sum up to some odd nonprime.

%C Define an alternating sum S(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (1-(-1)^k*k) = A064455(n+1).

%C The sequence contains this sum evaluated for an upper limit of the odd nonprimes where the sum is even.

%e S(n) evaluated at n=1, 9, 15, 21, ... (taken from A014076) is 3, 15, 24, 33, 42, 51, etc., where only the even values (i.e., 24, 42, etc.) join the sequence.

%p A014076 := proc(n) option remember ; if n = 1 then 1; else for a from procname(n-1)+2 by 2 do if not isprime(a) then RETURN(a) ; fi; od: fi; end:

%p S := proc(n) A064455(A014076(n)+1) ; end:

%p for n from 1 to 200 do if S(n) mod 2 = 0 then printf("%d,",S(n)) ; fi; od: # _R. J. Mathar_, Jul 21 2009
