G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (0, -1, 0, -1).
FORMULA
Euler transform of length 10 sequence [ -1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, -1].
a(2*n) = a(3*n) = 0 unless n=0, a(6*n + 1) = -1, a(6*n + 5) = a(0) = 1.
a(-n) = -a(n) unless n=0. a(n+6) = a(n) unless n=0 or n=-6.
G.f.: (1 - x + x^2 - x^3 + x^4) / (1 + x^2 + x^4).
G.f. A(x) = 1 - x / ( 1 + x^4 / (1 + x^2)) = 1 / (1 + x / (1 - x / (1 + x^3 / (1 + x^2 / (1 + x / (1 - x)))))). - Michael Somos, Jan 03 2013
