A305491 a(n) = numerator(r(n)) where r(n) = (((1/2)*(sqrt(3) + 1))^n - ((1/2)*(sqrt(3) - 1))^n * cos(Pi*n))/sqrt(3).

Let f(x, y) = ((y+1)^x - (y-1)^x * cos(Pi*x))/(y * 2^x). Then f(n, sqrt(3)) are the rational numbers a(n)/A060723(n) and f(n, sqrt(5)) the Fibonacci numbers A000045(n).

From Paul Curtz, Dec 05 2018: (Start)

The binomial inverse of the rational sequence r(n) starts 0, 1, -1, 3/2, -2, 11/4, -15/4, 41/8, -7, 153/16, -209/16, ... and is up to signs equal to r(n). The difference table starts:

0, 1, 1, 3/2, 2, 11/4, 15/4, 41/8, ...

1, 0, 1/2, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 11/8, 15/8, ...

-1, 1/2, 0, 1/4, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 11/16, ...

3/2, -1/2, 1/4, 0, 1/8, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, ...

...

Let s(n) = 2*r(n+1) - r(n) then s(n) = 1, 2, 5/2, 7/2, 19/4, 13/2, ... = A173299(n)/A173300(n) for n >= 1. (End)
