LINKS

Table of n, a(n) for n=0..53.

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (1,0,-1).

FORMULA

a(n) = (-1)^n*A104771(n).

G.f.: (1+x+x^2)/(1-x+x^3).

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 2 because 2 = 3 - 1 where the 1, 3 on the right of the equals sign are the first and third terms of the series.

MATHEMATICA

LinearRecurrence[{1, 0, -1}, {1, 2, 3}, 80] (* Harvey P. Dale, Apr 13 2012 *)

PROG

(Python)

series = [1, 2, 3]

for i in range(2, 30):

series.append(series[i] - series[i - 2])

print(series)
