FORMULA

a(n)=(-1)^n*A104771(n). G.f.: (1+x+x^2)/(1-x+x^3).

EXAMPLE

a(3)=2 because 2=3-1 where the 1,3 on the right of the equals sign are the first and third terms of the series.

PROG

(Python) series = [1, 2, 3] for i in range(2, 30): .series.append((series[i] - series[i-1])+(series[i-1]-series[i-2])) print series
