FORMULA
Euler transform of length 6 sequence [-1, 2, 1, 0, 0, -1].
Moebius transform is length 2 sequence [-1, 3].
a(n) = -b(n) where b() is multiplicative with b(2^e) = -2 if e>0, b(p^e) = 1 otherwise.
G.f.: (1 - x + x^2) / (1 - x^2).
G.f.: (1 - x) * (1 - x^6) / ((1 - x^3) * (1 -x^2)^2).
G.f.: 1 / (1 + x / (1 + x / (1 - 3*x / (1 + x)))).
a(n) = (-1)^n * A040001(n).
A028242(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} a(k).
A117575(n+1) = Product_{k=0..n} a(k).
A000225(n-1) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n, k) * a(k) if n>0.
A000325(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n, k+1) * a(k) if n>0.
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n, k) * (-1)^k * A083329(k).
A079583(n) = p(-1) where p(x) is the unique degree-n polynomial such that p(k) = a(k) for k = 0, 1, ..., n.
a(n) = A168361(n+1), n>0. - R. J. Mathar, Jan 04 2017
