%C A137501 Contribution from Peter Luschny (peter(AT)luschny.de), Jul 12 2009: (Start)
%C A137501 The general formula for alternating sums of powers of even integers is 
               in terms of the Swiss-Knife polynomials P(n,x) A153641 (P(n,1)-(-1)^k 
               P(n,2k+1))/2. Here n=1 and k shifted one place, thus
%C A137501 a(k) = (P(1,1)-(-1)^(k-1) P(1,2(k-1)+1))/2. (End)
%F A137501 a(n) = ( n - (1/2) + (1/2)*(-1)^n )*(-1)^n
%p A137501 den:= n -> (n-1/2+1/2*(-1)^n)*(-1)^n: seq(den(n),n=-10..10);
%p A137501 a := n -> (1+(-1)^n*(2*n-1))/2; [From Peter Luschny (peter(AT)luschny.de),
