{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. For the definition, see [Erdelyi] and the Shevelev link. - Vladimir Shevelev, Jul 04 2017

FORMULA
G.f.: -x^2*(x-1) / (2*x^4-4*x^3+6*x^2-4*x+1). - Colin Barker, Jul 15 2013
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 6*a(n-2) + 4*a(n-3) - 2*a(n-4). - G. C. Greubel, Nov 10 2015
a(n) = (1/2)*((2+sqrt(2))^(n/2) * sin(n*Pi/8) - (2-sqrt(2))^(n/2)*sin(3*n*Pi/8)). - G. C. Greubel, Nov 10 2015
From Vladimir Shevelev, Jul 04 2017 (Start)
a(n) = Sum_{k>=0}(-1)^k*binomial(n,4*k+2);
a(n) = round((2+sqrt(2))^(n/2)*cos(Pi*(n-4)/8)/2), where round(x) is the integer nearest to x;
a(n+m) = a(n)*K_1(m) + K_2(n)*K_2(m) + K_1(n)*a(m) - K_4(n)*K_4(m), where K_1 is A099586, K_2 is A099587, K_4 is A099589. (End)
MAPLE
