%N First differences of A003946.
%C Sum of consecutive pairs of elements of A025192.
%C The alternating sign sequence with g.f. (1-x^2)/(1+3x) gives the diagonal sums of A110168. - _Paul Barry_, Jul 14 2005
%C Let M = an infinite lower triangular matrix with the odd integers (1,3,5,...) in every column, with the leftmost column shifted up one row. Then A080923 = lim_{n->inf} M^n. - _Gary W. Adamson_, Feb 18 2010
%C a(n+1), n >= 0, with o.g.f. ((1-x^2)/(1-3*x)-1)/x = (3-x)/(1-3*x) provides the coefficients in the formal power series for tan(3*x)/tan(x) = (3-z)/(1-3*z) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n+1)*z^n, with z = tan(x)^2. Convergence holds for 0 <= z < 1/3, i.e., |x| < Pi/6, approximately 0.5235987758. For the numerator and denominator of this o.g.f. see A034867 and A034839, respectively. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jan 18 2013

%F G.f.: (1-x^2)/(1-3*x).
%F G.f.: 1/(1 - 3*x + x^2 - 3*x^3 + x^4 - 3*x^5 + ...). - _Gary W. Adamson_, Jan 06 2011
