A281488 a(n) = -Sum_{d divides (n-2), 1 <= d < n} a(d). 3

%N a(n) = -Sum_{d divides (n-2), 1 <= d < n} a(d).

%C a(1) = 1, any other choice simply adds a factor to all terms.

%C The even bisection of the sequence seems to behave similarly to A281487 with similar asymptotics for |a(n)|. However, the odd bisection shows oscillations with increasing intervals between crossing the zero and increasing amplitude.
