%C Bisection of A001077; a(n) = A001077(2*n-1). - _Greg Dresden_, Jun 08 2021

%C From _Peter Bala_, Aug 25 2022: (Start)

%C The aerated sequence (b(n))n>=1 = [2, 0, 38, 0, 682, 0, 1238, 0, ...] is a fourth-order linear divisibility sequence; that is, if n | m then b(n) | b(m). The sequence (1/2)*(b(n))n>=1 is the case P1 = 0, P2 = -16, Q = -1 of the 3-parameter family of divisibility sequences found by Williams and Guy. See A100047. (End)
