Comments

G.f. from SuperSeeker (LISTTOALGEQ) checked up to n=11. Same sequence starting with {1}: see A083692. Sum of absolute values of list elements gives A083693. Cross-references cite sequences with similar generation by integer-substitution and length of resulting lists.

Formula

G.f.: 1/x * series_reversion( (-4*x-5*x^2+x^2*sqrt(1+8*x+8*x^2))/ (2*(-2-6*x-6*x^2-2*x^3)) ).

Example

0, 1 and 2 substitutions produce lengths 1, 2 and 6: {0}; {-1,1}; {-2,0,2, -2,0,2}.

Mathematica
