FORMULA
|
Euler transform of length 4 sequence [4, -4, 0, 1].
Moebius transform is length 4 sequence [4, 2, 0, -4].
a(n) = 4 * b(n) unless n=0 and b(n) is multiplicative with b(2) = 3/2, b(2^e) = 1/2 if e>1, b(p^e) = 1 if p>2.
a(n) = a(-n) for all n in Z. a(n+4) = a(n) unless n=0 or n=-4. a(2*n + 1) = 4. a(4*n) = 2 unless n=0. a(4*n + 2) = 6.
G.f.: -1 + 4 / (1 - x) - 2 / (1 + x^2).
