FORMULA
From Michael Somos, May 25 2005: (Start)
Euler transform of period 9 sequence [ 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, -2, ...].
G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^2), A(x^4)) where f(u, v, w) = u^2*w - 2*u*w^2 - v^3.
G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^2), A(x^3), A(x^6)) where f(u1, u2, u3, u6) = u1*u3^2 + u1*u6^2 - u1*u3*u6 - u2^2*u3.
Multiplicative with a(3^e) = 0^e, a(p^e) = e+1 if p == 1 (mod 3), a(p^e) = (1+(-1)^e)/2 if p == 2 (mod 3).
G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^2), A(x^3), A(x^6)) where f(u1, u2, u3, u6) = u2*u3^2 + 2*u2*u3*u6 + 4*u2*u6^2 - u1^2*u6. (End)
Asymptotic mean: Limit_{m->oo} (1/m) * Sum_{k=1..m} a(k) = 2*Pi/(9*sqrt(3)) = 0.403066... . - Amiram Eldar, Oct 13 2022
Dirichlet g.f.: L(chi_1,s)*L(chi_{-1},s), where chi_1 = A011655 and chi_{-1} = A102283 are respectively the principal and the non-principal Dirichlet character modulo 3. For the formula of the sequence whose Dirichlet g.f. is Product_{chi} L(chi,s), where chi runs through all Dirichlet characters modulo k, see A378006. This sequence is the case k = 3. - Jianing Song, Nov 13 2024
