Ramanujan-type sequence number 2 for argument 2Pi/9 is connected with the sequence A214699 (see also sequences A006053, A214683) - all have "similar" trigonometric description, for example in the case of a(n) the following formula hold true: 9^(1/3)*a(n) = (c(1)/c(4))^(1/3)*c(1)^n + (c(2)/c(1))^(1/3)*c(2)^n + (c(4)/c(2))^(1/3)*c(4)^n = -( (c(2)/c(1))^(1/3)*c(1)^(n+1) + (c(4)/c(2))^(1/3)*c(2)^(n+1) + (c(1)/c(4))^(1/3)*c(4)^(n+1) ), where c(j) := 2*Cos(2Pi*j/9) - for the proof see Witula et al.'s papers.
From a(0),A214699(0),a(2) and c(1)+c(2)+c(4)=0 we deduce
x^3 - 9^(1/3)*x - 1 = (x - (c(1)/c(2))^(1/3))*(x - (c(2)/c(4))^(1/3))*(x - (c(4)/c(1))^(1/3)), and
x^3 - 7*9^(1/3)*x - 1 = (x - (c(1)/c(2))^(1/3)*c(1)^2)*(x - (c(2)/c(4))^(1/3)*c(2)^2)*(x - (c(4)/c(1))^(1/3)*c(4)^2). We note that applying the Newton-Girard formulas to these polynomials two new sequences of real numbers can be discussed: X(n) := (c(1)/c(2))^(n/3) + (c(2)/c(4))^(n/3) + (c(4)/c(1))^(n/3), and Y(n) := ((c(1)/c(2))^(1/3)*c(1)^2)^n + ((c(2)/c(4))^(1/3)*c(2)^2)^n + ((c(4)/c(1))^(1/3)*c(4)^2)^n, where X(n)=9^(1/3)*X(n-2)+X(n-3), X(0)=3, X(1)=0, X(2)=2*9^(1/3), Y(n)=7*9^(1/3)Y(n-2)+Y(n-3), Y(0)=3, Y(1)=0, Y(2)=14*9^(1/3). It could be obtained the following decompositions: X(n) = ax(n) + 9^(1/3)*bx(n) + 81^(1/3)*cx(n), ax(0)=3, bx(0)=cx(0)=ax(1)=bx(1)=cx(1)=ax(2)=bx(2)=0, cx(2)=2, ax(n)=ax(n-3)+9*cx(n-2), bx(n)=bx(n-3)+ax(n-2), cx(n)=cx(n-3)+bx(n-2), and Y(n) = ay(n) + 9^(1/3)*by(n) + 81^(1/3)*cy(n), ay(0)=3, by(0)=cy(0)=ay(1)=by(1)=cy(1)=ay(2)=cy(2)=0, by(2)=14, ay(n)=ay(n-3)+63*cy(n-2), by(n)=by(n-3)+7*ay(n-2), cy(n)=cy(n-3)+7*by(n-2). All these new sequence of positive integers ax(n),bx(n),...,cy(n) will be presented separately as A214778, A214951, A214954. - Roman Witula, Sep 27 2012
We note that all sums a(n+1) + a(n) are divisible by 3, which easily from recurrence formula for a(n) follows. Then it can be deduced the formula a(n+1) + a(n) = -A214699(n). - Roman Witula, Oct 06 2012

EXAMPLE

From a(0)=-1 and A214699(0)=0 we obtain (c(1)/c(4))^(2/3) + (c(2)/c(1))^(2/3) + (c(4)/c(2))^(2/3) = 3*3^(1/3), whereas from a(1)=-1 and A214699(1)=3*3^(1/3) we get (c(1)/c(4))^(2/3)*2c(2) + (c(2)/c(1))^(2/3)*2c(4) + (c(4)/c(2))^(2/3)*2c(1) = 3*3^(1/3).
