Table of n, a(n) for n=0..104.

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,-1).

Formula

O.g.f.: x(x^2+1)(x^8+8x^7+4x^6+5x^4+4x^2+2x+1)/((x^4+1)(x^8-x^4+1)) . Also a(n)=b(n-2)+b(n), n>=2, where b(n) = 1, 2, 4, 0, 5, 0, 4, 8, 1, 0, 0, 0, -1, -2, -4, 0, -5, 0, -4, -8, -1, 0, 0, 0, extended with period 24. - R. J. Mathar, Jan 15 2008
