An integer solution to the equations S(m,s,t) = Sum_{i} (((-1)^i)*binomial(m, i)*binomial(s - m, t - i)) = 0 is an integer s such that there exist integers m, t and 0 < m,t < s/2 such that S(m,s,t)=0.
S(m,s,t)=0 iff S(t,s,m)=0 iff S(s-m,s,t)=0 iff S(s-t,s,m)=0.
If m or t > s, the equation is trivially true, if m or t = s, it is never true.
There are m,t such that 0 < m,t < s/2 and S(m,s,t)=0 iff there are m',t' such that s/2 < m',t' < s and S(m',s,t')=0.
When s is even S(s/2,s,t)=0 (resp. S(m,s,s/2)=0) whenever t (resp. m) is odd. These kinds of super-trivial solutions are not considered.
Therefore the sequence only contains the s for which there exist integers m, t such that 0 < m,t < s/2 and S(m,s,t)=0.

FORMULA

There are some patterns in the sequence (quite easy to see with elementary algebra):
For t(resp. m)=2*k, s=8*k+1, m(resp. t)=4*k-1 is an infinite family of solutions (k>=1). This arithmetic progression (from 9), belongs to the sequence.
For t(resp. m)=2, s=(k+2)^2, m(resp. t)=((k + 2)*(k + 1))/2 is another infinite family of solutions (k>=1). All the squares (from 9) belongs to the sequence.
For t(resp. m)=3, s=3*k^2 + 8*k + 6, m(resp. t)=((k + 1)*(3*k + 2))/2 is another infinite family of solutions (k>=1).
For t(resp. m)=3, s=3*k^2 + 10*k + 9, m(resp. t)=((k + 1)*(3*k + 4))/2 is another infinite family of solutions (k>=0). These polynomial progressions belong to the sequence.
