Periodic of period 12. Parker vector of the wreath product of S_4 and S, the symmetric group of a countable set.
FORMULA
G.f.: x/(1-x)+x^2/(1-x^2)+x^3/(1-x^3)+x^4/(1-x^4).
a(n) = a(n-12) = a(-n).
a(n) = 25/12 - (3/4)*( - 1)^n - 1/2*sin(Pi*n/2) - (1/3)*cos(2*Pi*n/3) - (1/3)*3^(1/2)*sin(2*Pi*n/3) [From Richard Choulet, Dec 12 2008]
a(n) = sum(k=1..1, cos(n*(k - 1)/1*2*Pi)/1) + sum(k=1..2, cos(n*(k - 1)/2*2*Pi)/2) + sum(k=1..3, cos(n*(k - 1)/3*2*Pi)/3) + sum(k=1..4, cos(n*(k - 1)/4*2*Pi)/4). - Mats Granvik, Sep 09 2012
