Euler transform of finite sequence [2,-2,0,1]. - Michael Somos, Sep 17 2004
This is the r = 2 member in the r-family of sequences S_r(n) defined in A092184 where more information can be found.
a(n+1) is the transform of sqrt(1+2x)/sqrt(1-2x) (A063886) under the Chebyshev transformation A(x) -> (1/(1 + x^2))A(x/(1 + x^2)). See also A084099. - Paul Barry, Oct 12 2004
Multiplicative with a(2) = 2, a(2^e) = 0 if e >= 2, a(p^e) = 1 otherwise. - David W. Wilson, Jun 12 2005
The e.g.f. of 1, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 1, 0, ... (shifted left, offset zero) is exp(x) + sin(x).
Binomial transform is A000749(n+2). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Dec 30 2015
Decimal expansion of 11/909. - David A. Corneth, Dec 12 2016
Ternary expansion of 1/5. - J. Conrad, Aug 14 2017

FORMULA

Multiplicative with a(p^e) = 2 if p = 2 and e = 0; 0 if p = 2 and e > 0; 1 if p > 2. - David W. Wilson, Aug 01 2001
a(n) = -Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^C(k+2, 2) (Offset -1). - Paul Barry, Jul 07 2003
a(n) = 1 - cos(n*Pi/2); a(n) = a(n-1) - a(n-2) + a(n-3) for n>2. - Lee Reeves (leereeves(AT)fastmail.fm), May 10 2004
a(n) = -a(n-2) + 2, n >= 2, a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1.
G.f.: x*(1+x)/((1-x)*(1+x^2)) = x*(1+x)/(1-x+x^2-x^3).
a(n) = 1 - T(n, 0) = 1 - A056594(n) with Chebyshev's polynomials T(n, x) of the first kind. Note that T(n, 0) = S(n, 0).
a(n) = b(n) + b(n-1), n >= 1, with b(n) := A021913(n+1) the partial sums of S(n,0) = U(n,0) = A056594(n) (Chebyshev's polynomials evaluated at x=0).
a(n) = 1 + (1/2){(-1)^[(n-1)/2] - (-1)^[n/2]}. - Ralf Stephan, Jun 09 2005
a(n) = 1/12*{5*(n mod 4) + 5*[(n+1) mod 4] - [(n+2) mod 4] - [(n+3) mod 4]}. - Paolo P. Lava, Oct 20 2006
Non-reduced g.f.: x*(1+x)^2/(1-x^4). - Jaume Oliver Lafont, Mar 27 2009
a(n+1) = (S(n, sqrt(2))^2, n >= 0, with the Chebyshev S-polynomials A049310. See the W. Lang link under A181878. - Wolfdieter Lang, Dec 15 2010
Dirichlet g.f. (1 + 1/2^s - 2/4^s)*zeta(s). - R. J. Mathar, Feb 24 2011
a(n) = n mod 4 - 2*(((n-2 mod 4) mod 3) mod 2). - Paolo P. Lava, Mar 13 2011
a(n) = (n mod 4) - (n^3 mod 4) + (n^2 mod 4). - Gary Detlefs, Apr 17 2011]
a(n) = (n mod 2) + 2*floor(((n+1) mod 4)/3). - Gary Detlefs, Jul 19 2011]
a(n) = sqrt(n^2 mod 8). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jan 01 2014
a(n) = (n AND 4*k+2)-(n AND 4*k+1) + 2*floor(((n+2) mod 4)/3), for any k. - Gary Detlefs, Jun 08 2014
a(n) = Sum_{i=1..n} (-1)^floor((i-1)/2). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Dec 26 2015
