FORMULA

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(2n-k-1, k)(-1)^k*3(n-k). - Paul Barry, Jan 21 2005

a(0) = 1 and a(n) = 2*sqrt(3)*sin(n*Pi/3). - N-E. Fahssi, Mar 04 2010

Euler transform of length 6 sequence [3, -3, -1, 0, 0, 1]. - Michael Somos, Feb 13 2011

a(n) = -a(-n) = 3 * A128834(n) except a(0) = 1. - Michael Somos, Feb 13 2011

a(n) = 3*(n^2 mod 3)*(-1)^floor(n/3), n>0. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, May 15 2015

The periodic sequence b(n) = a(n+1) has the o.g.f. 3 + G(x) = 3 + 3x(1-x) / (1-x(1-x)) = 3 + 3 L(Cinv(x)) = 3 + 3 x - 3 x^3 - 3 x^4 + ... , where L(x) = x/(1-x) with inverse Linv(x) = x/(1+x) and Cinv(x) = x(1-x), the inverse of the o.g.f. for the shifted Catalan numbers of A000108, C(x) = (1-sqrt(1-4x))/2. Then Ginv(x) = C(Linv(x/3)) = [1 - sqrt[1-4x/(3+x)]]/2. Cf. A267633. - Tom Copeland, Jan 25 2016

EXAMPLE

1 + 3*x + 3*x^2 - 3*x^4 - 3*x^5 + 3*x^7 + 3*x^8 - 3*x^10 - 3*x^11 + ...
