A176981 Expansion of 1+(1-2*x)/(-1+2*x+x^2). 4

%N Expansion of 1+(1-2*x)/(-1+2*x+x^2).

%C It is essentially A000129, A077985 and A069306 except for signs and offsets.

%C a(n)=a(n - 1) - sqrt(2*a(n - 1)^2 + (-1)^n) = a(n-1)*(1-sqrt(2-(-1)^n/a(n-1)^2)) for n>0.

%C So in the limit of n->infinity, a(n+1)/a(n)= 1-Sqrt(2).

%C This matches the following formula in A000045:

%C Fibonacci(n) = Fibonacci(n - 1)*(1 + sqrt( 5+4*(-1)^(n-1)/Fibonacci(n-1)^2) )/2.

%F a(0)=1, a(1)=0, a(2)=-1, a(n)=2*a(n-1)+a(n-2) [From Harvey P. Dale, Dec 24 2011]

%F G.f.: 1 / (1 + x^2 / (1 - 2*x / (1 - x / (1 + x)))). - _Michael Somos_, Jan 03 2013

%F G.f.: 1 - Q(0)*x^2/2 , where Q(k) = 1 + 1/(1 - x*(4*k+2 + x)/( x*(4*k+4 + x) + 1/Q(k+1) )); (continued fraction). - _Sergei N. Gladkovskii_, Sep 08 2013
