%F From _Colin Barker_, Dec 30 2015 and Apr 15 2019: (Start)

%F a(n) = ((-1)^n-1)*(1-10^(2*n+1))/18 for n>0.

%F a(n) = 10001*a(n-2)-10000*a(n-4) for n>4.

%F G.f.: (1+111*x-10001*x^2+1000*x^3+10000*x^4) / ((1-x)*(1+x)*(1-100*x)*(1+100*x)).

%F (End)

%F a(n) = (10*100^n-1)/9*(n mod 2) + 0^n. - _Karl V. Keller, Jr._, Aug 11 2021
