FORMULA
G.f.: 1/(1-x+x^2/(1-x^2/(1+x^2/(1-2x+x^2/(1-x^2/(1+x^2/(1-2x+x^2/(1-x^2/(1+... (continued fraction, defined by
the sequences (1,0,0,2,0,0,2,0,0,2,0,...) and (-1,1,-1,-1,1,-1,...);
g.f.: (1+x-sqrt(1-2x+x^2+4x^3))/(2x(1-x)).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A198379(n,k)*(-1)^(n-k). - Philippe Deléham, Oct 29 2011
a(n) = (-1)^n*Sum_{k=0..n} A174014(n,k)*(-2)^k. - Philippe Deléham, Feb 16 2012
G.f.: (1+x)/(G(0)+x), where G(k)= 1 - x + x^3/G(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jul 29 2013
Conjecture: (n+1)*a(n) - 3*n*a(n-1) + 3*(n-1)*a(n-2) + 3*(n-4)*a(n-3) + 2*(-2*n+7)*a(n-4) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, Feb 10 2015
G.f. A(x) satisfies (A(x) - 1) / A(x)^2 = (x - x^2) / (1 + x). - Michael Somos, Jan 20 2017
0 = a(n)*(+16*a(n+1) - 6*a(n+2) - 42*a(n+3) + 54*a(n+4) - 22*a(n+5)) + a(n+1)*(-18*a(n+1) + 27*a(n+2) + 6*a(n+3) - 31*a(n+4) + 18*a(n+5))+ a(n+2)*(-18*a(n+2) + 36*a(n+3) - 30*a(n+4) + 9*a(n+5)) + a(n+3)*(+6*a(n+4) - 6*a(n+5)) + a(n+4)*(+a(n+5)) if n >= 0. - Michael Somos, Jan 20 2017

G.f. = 1 + x - x^3 - 2*x^4 - 2*x^5 + 5*x^7 + 12*x^8 + 16*x^9 + 6*x^10 + ...
