A143629 Define E(n) = Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^floor(k/3)*k^n/k! for n = 0,1,2,... . Then E(n) is an integral linear combination of E(0), E(1) and E(2). This sequence lists the coefficients of E(1). 12

%N Define E(n) = Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^floor(k/3)*k^n/k! for n = 0,1,2,... . Then E(n) is an integral linear combination of E(0), E(1) and E(2). This sequence lists the coefficients of E(1).

%C This sequence and its companion sequences A143628 and A143630 may be viewed as generalizations of the Uppuluri-Carpenter numbers (complementary Bell numbers) A000587. Define E(n) = Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^floor(k/3)*k^n/k! = 0^n/0! + 1^n/1! + 2^n/2! - 3^n/3! - 4^n/4! - 5^n/5! + + + - - - ... for n = 0,1,2,... . It is easy to see that E(n+3) = 3*E(n+2) - 2*E(n+1) - Sum_{i = 0..n} 3^i*binomial(n,i)*E(n-i) for n >= 0. Thus E(n) is an integral linear combination of E(0), E(1) and E(2). This sequence lists the coefficients of E(1). Some examples are given below. The precise result for E(n) as a linear combination of E(0), E(1) and E(2) is E(n) = A143628(n)*E(0) + A143629(n)*E(1) + A143630(n)*E(2). Compare with A121867 and A143815.

%F Define three sequences A(n), B(n) and C(n) by the relations: A(n+1) = - Sum_{i = 0..n} binomial(n,i)*C(i), B(n+1) = Sum_{i = 0..n} binomial(n,i)*A(i), C(n+1) = Sum_{i = 0..n} binomial(n,i)*B(i), with initial conditions A(0) = 1, B(0) = C(0) = 0. Then a(n) = B(n) - C(n). The other sequences are A(n) = A143628(n) and C(n) = A143630(n). The values of B(n) are recorded in A143631. Compare with A143818. Also a(n) = A143628(n) - A000587(n).
