Numerators are all 1.
a(n) is also the determinant of the n X n matrix with 1's on the diagonal and 2's elsewhere (cf. A000354). - Jody Nagel (SejeongY(AT)aol.com), May 01 2010

FORMULA
|
Euler transform of length 2 sequence [-3, 2]. - Michael Somos, Mar 26 2011
a(n) = b(2*n + 1) where b(n) is completely multiplicative with b(2) = 0, b(p) = p if p == 1 (mod 4), b(p) = -p if p == 3 (mod 4). - Michael Somos, Mar 26 2011
a(-1 - n) = a(n), a(n + 1) + a(n - 1) = -2*a(n) for all n in Z. - Michael Somos, Mar 26 2011
G.f.: (1 - x)/(1 + x)^2 = (1 - x)^3 / (1 - x^2)^2.
a(0) = 1, a(1) = -3, a(n) = -2*a(n-1) - a(n-2) for n >= 2.
Sum_{n=0..inf} 1/a(n) = Pi/4.
