Expansion in any base b of 1/(b^3-1). E.g., 1/7 in base 2, 1/26 in base 3, 1/63 in base 4, etc. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Nov 07 2006

a(n) = A130196(n) - A131534(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Nov 12 2009

FORMULA

From Mario Catalani (mario.catalani(AT)unito.it), Jan 07 2003: (Start)

G.f.: x^2/(1-x^3).

a(n) = -(1/2)*((-1)^floor((2n-1)/3) + (-1)^floor((2n+1)/3)). (End)

From Paolo P. Lava, Nov 29 2006: (Start)

a(n) = (2/3)*(cos(2*(n+1)*Pi/3) + 1/2) with n >= 0;

a(n) = 1 - ((n+1)^2 mod 3) with n >= 0;

a(n) = (1/9)*(4*(n mod 3) - 2*((n+1) mod 3) + ((n+2) mod 3) with n >= 0. (End)

From Hieronymus Fischer, May 29 2007: (Start)

a(n) = ((n+2) mod 3) mod 2.

a(n) = (1/2)*(1 - (-1)^(n + floor((n+2)/3))). (End)

a(n) = (1 + (-1)^Fibonacci(n+1))/2. - Hieronymus Fischer, Jun 14 2007

a(n) = (n^5 - n^2) mod 3. - Gary Detlefs, Mar 20 2010

a(n) = ((-1)^(a(n-1) + a(n-2)) + 1)/2 starting from n=3. - Adriano Caroli, Nov 21 2010

a(n) = 1 - Fibonacci(n+1) mod 2. - Gary Detlefs, Dec 26 2010

a(n) = floor((n+1)/3) - floor(n/3). - Tani Akinari, Oct 22 2012
