COMMENTS
It is remarkable that the generating function results in a power series in x with only real coefficients.
Odd terms occur only at n = k*(k+2) for k >= 0 (conjecture);
a(n*(n+2)) = A324303(n).
LINKS
FORMULA
G.f. A(x) is defined by the following series.
(1) Sum_{n>=0} x^n * (x^(n+1) + i)^n / (1 + i*x^(n+1))^(n+1).
(2) Sum_{n>=0} x^n * (x^(n+1) - i)^n / (1 - i*x^(n+1))^(n+1).
(3) Sum_{n>=0} (i*x)^n * (1 - i*x^(n+1))^(2*n+1) / (1 + x^(2*n+2))^(n+1).
(4) Sum_{n>=0} (-i*x)^n * (1 + i*x^(n+1))^(2*n+1) / (1 + x^(2*n+2))^(n+1).
FORMULAS INVOLVING TERMS.
a(n*(n+2)) = 1 (mod 2) for n >= 0.
a(4*n+1) = 0 for n >= 0.
a(4*n+2) < 0 for n >= 0.
a(p-1) = (-1)^((p-1)/2) * 2 for odd primes p.
EXAMPLE
G.f.: A(x) = 1 - 2*x^2 + 3*x^3 + 2*x^4 - 2*x^6 - 14*x^7 + 15*x^8 - 2*x^10 + 22*x^11 + 2*x^12 - 84*x^14 + 33*x^15 + 2*x^16 - 2*x^18 + 38*x^19 + 172*x^20 - 2*x^22 - 508*x^23 + 323*x^24 - 292*x^26 + 54*x^27 + 2*x^28 - 2*x^30 + 1088*x^31 + 444*x^32 - 2580*x^34 + 1753*x^35 + ...
such that
A(x) = 1/(1+i*x) + x*(x^2+i)/(1+i*x^2)^2 + x^2*(x^3+i)^2/(1+i*x^3)^3 + x^3*(x^4+i)^3/(1+i*x^4)^4 + x^4*(x^5+i)^4/(1+i*x^5)^5 + x^5*(x^6+i)^5/(1+i*x^6)^6 + x^6*(x^7+i)^6/(1+i*x^7)^7 + x^7*(x^8+i)^7/(1+i*x^8)^8 + ...
also
A(x) = (1-i*x)/(1+x^2) + i*x*(1-i*x^2)^3/(1+x^4)^2 - x^2*(1-i*x^3)^5/(1+x^6)^3 - i*x^3*(1-i*x^4)^7/(1+x^8)^4 + x^4*(1-i*x^5)^9/(1+x^10)^5 + i*x^5*(1-i*x^6)^11/(1+x^12)^6 + i*x^6*(1-i*x^7)^11/(1+x^14)^7 + ...
Note that the imaginary components in the above sums vanish.
