Reinhard Zumkeller, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (-1,2,2,-1,-1).

Formula

a(2n) = 1 - a(2n-1), a(2n+1) = 2*n + 1 - a(2n).

a(n) = A000463(n+1) - A000463(n).

a(2n-1) = A002378(n-1), a(2n) = - A165900(n).

G.f.: -x^2*(-1-3*x+x^2+x^3) / ( (x-1)^2*(1+x)^3 ). - R. J. Mathar, Apr 14 2011

a(n) = (2*n+3-(2*n^2-2*n-5)*(-1)^n)/8. - Luce ETIENNE, Dec 18 2014

E.g.f.: ((4 + x - x^2)*cosh(x) - (1 - x - x^2)*sinh(x) - 4)/4. - Stefano Spezia, Jul 08 2023
