%N Constant term in (1+x)^n mod (1+x^4).

%C Equals real part of term (1,1) in M^n, where M = a 2 X 2 matrix [1,1; i,1], where i = sqrt(-1). - _Gary W. Adamson_, Mar 25 2009

%C {A099586, A099587, A099588, A099589} is the difference analog of the trigonometric functions {k_1(x), k_2(x), k_3(x), k_4(x)} of order 4.

%C For the definition, see [Erdelyi] and the Shevelev link. - _Vladimir Shevelev_, Jul 03 2017

%C a(n) = 0 if and only if n == 4 (mod 8). - _Robert Israel_, Jul 04 2017

%F From _Colin Barker_, Nov 08 2015: (Start)

%F a(n) = 4*a(n-1)-6*a(n-2)+4*a(n-3)-2*a(n-4) for n>4.

%F G.f.: -x*(2*x-1)*(x^2-x+1) / (2*x^4-4*x^3+6*x^2-4*x+1).

%F (End)

%F a(n) = (1/2)*((2+sqrt(2))^(n/2)*cos(n*Pi/8) + (2-sqrt(2))^(n/2)*cos(3*n*Pi/8)). - _G. C. Greubel_, Nov 10 2015

%F From _Vladimir Shevelev_, Jun 29 2017: (Start)

%F a(n) = Sum_{k >= 0}(-1)^k*binomial(n,4*k).

%F a(n) = round((2+sqrt(2))^(n/2)*cos(Pi*(n)/8)/2), where round(x) is the integer nearest to x.

%F a(n+m) = a(n)*a(m) - K_4(n)*K_2(m) - K_3(n)*K_3(m) - K_2(n)*K_4(m), where K_2 is A099587, K_3 is A099588 and K_4 is A099589.
