Formula

G.f.: 1 - x + x^2 + x / (1 - x + x^2 + x / (1 - x + x^2 + x / ...)). (continued fraction convergence is one power series term per iteration).

G.f.: 1 + x^2 / (1 + x / (1 + x^2 / (1 + x / ...))). (continued fraction convergence is three power series terms per iteration).

a(n) = - A129509(n) if n>2.

HANKEL transform is period 8 sequence A112299(n+5) = [1, 1, -1, 0, 1, -1, -1, 0, ...].

HANKEL transform of a(n+1) is period 8 sequence -A112299(n+4) = [0, -1, -1, 1, 0, -1, 1, 1, ...].

D-finite with recurrence: n*a(n) +(2*n-3)*a(n-1) +3*(n-3)*a(n-2) +(-2*n+9)*a(n-3) +(n-6)*a(n-4)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Jan 25 2020

Example
