This sequence is the denominator of (Pi^2)/12 = 1/1-1/4+1/9-1/16+1/25-1/36+... - Mohammad K. Azarian, Dec 29 2011
Also, circulant determinant of [1,2,...,n,n-1,...,1], i.e., determinant of the (2n-1) X (2n-1) matrix which has this as first row (and also first column), where row k+1 is obtained by cyclically shifting row k one place to the left. - M. F. Hasler, Dec 17 2016

FORMULA
|
Euler transform of length 2 sequence [-4, 3].
a(n) is multiplicative with a(2^e) = -(4^e) if e>0, a(p^e) = (p^2)^e if p>2.
G.f.: x * (1 - x) / (1 + x)^3.
E.g.f.: exp(-x) * (x - x^2).
a(n) = a(-n) = -(-1)^n * A000290(n) for all n in Z.
Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s-2)*(1-2^(3-s)). - Amiram Eldar, Jan 07 2023
