Index entries for two-way infinite sequences.

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (2,-2,2,-1).

Formula

G.f.: x*(1+x+x^2)/((1-x)^2*(1+x^2)) = x*(1-x^2)*(1-x^3)/((1-x)^3*(1-x^4)).

a(n) = n + A004524(n+1) = -a(-n) for all n in Z.

Starting (1, 3, 5, ...) = partial sums of (1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, ...). - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 19 2008

A093719(a(n)) = 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Oct 01 2008

a(n) = 2*(n-floor(n/4)) - (3-I^n-(-I)^n-(-1)^n)/4, with offset 0..a(0)=0. - Gary Detlefs, Mar 19 2010

a(n) = (3*n-3+cos(Pi*n/2))/2. - R. J. Mathar, Oct 08 2010

From Wesley Ivan Hurt, May 20 2016: (Start)

a(n) = 2*a(n-1)-2*a(n-2)+2*a(n-3)-a(n-4) for n>4.

a(n) = (6*n-6+(-1)^(n/2)+(-1)^(-n/2))/4. (End)

Euler transform of length 4 sequence [3, -1, -1, 1]. - Michael Somos, Jun 24 2017

Sum_{n>=2} (-1)^n/a(n) = log(2)/3 + log(3)/2. - Amiram Eldar, Dec 16 2021

E.g.f.: (2 + 3*exp(x)*(x - 1) + cos(x))/2. - Stefano Spezia, Jul 26 2024
