%N Expansion of 1/((1-x)*(1+2*x)).

%C a(n+1) is the reflection of a(n) through a(n-1) on the numberline. - _Floor van Lamoen_, Aug 31 2004

%C If a zero is added as the (new) a(0) in front, the sequence represents the inverse binomial transform of A001045. Partial sums are in A077898. - _R. J. Mathar_, Aug 30 2008

%C a(n) = A077953(2*n+3). - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Oct 07 2008

%C Related to the Fibonacci sequence by an INVERT transform: if A(x) = 1+x^2*g(x) is the generating function of the a(n) prefixed with 1, 0, then 1/A(x) = 2+(x+1)/(x^2-x+1) is the generating function of 1, 0, -1, 1, -2, 3, ..., the signed Fibonacci sequence A000045 prefixed with 1. - _Gary W. Adamson_, Jan 07 2011

%C Also: Gaussian binomial coefficients [n+1,1], or q-integers, for q=-2, diagonal k=1 in the triangular (or column r=1 in the square) array A015109. - _M. F. Hasler_, Nov 04 2012

%C With a leading zero, 0, 1, -1, 3, -5, 11, -21, 43, -85, 171, -341, 683, ... we obtain the Lucas U(-1,-2) sequence. - _R. J. Mathar_, Jan 08 2013

%C Let m = a(n). Then 18*m^2 - 12*m + 1 = A000225(2n+3). - _Roderick MacPhee_, Jan 17 2013
