COMMENTS
Dirichlet series for the non-principal character modulo 6: L(s,chi) = Sum_{n>=1} a(n)/n^s. For example L(1,chi) = A093766, L(2,chi) = A214552, and L(3,chi) = Pi^3/(18*sqrt(3)). See Jolley eq. (314) and arXiv:1008.2547 L(m=6,r=2,s). - R. J. Mathar, Jul 31 2010

FORMULA
Euler transform of length 6 sequence [0, 0, 0, -1, 0, 1]. - Michael Somos, Feb 10 2008
G.f.: x * (1 - x^4) / (1 - x^6) = x*(1+x^2) / (1 + x^2 + x^4) = x*(1+x^2) / ( (1+x+x^2)*(x^2-x+1) ).
G.f. A(x) satisfies 0 = f(A(x), A(x^2), A(x^3)) where f(u, v, w) = w * (2 + v - u^2 - 2*v^2) - 2 * u * v. - Michael Somos, Aug 11 2009
a(n) is multiplicative with a(p^e) = 0^e if p = 2 or p = 3, a(p^e) = 1 if p == 1 (mod 6), a(p^e) = (-1)^e if p == 5 (mod 6). - Michael Somos, Aug 11 2009
a(-n) = -a(n). a(n+6) = a(n). a(2*n) = a(3*n) = 0.
sqrt(3)*a(n) = sin(Pi*n/3) + sin(2*Pi*n/3). - R. J. Mathar, Oct 08 2011
a(n) + a(n-2) + a(n-4) = 0 for n>3. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jun 20 2016
E.g.f.: 2*sin(sqrt(3)*x/2)*cosh(x/2)/sqrt(3). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jun 21 2016
EXAMPLE
G.f. = x - x^5 + x^7 - x^11 + x^13 - x^17 + x^19 - x^23 + x^25 - x^29 + ...
