FORMULA

a(n)=(a(n-1)a(n-3)+a(n-2)^2)/a(n-4).

a(2n+1)=a(n+2)a(n)^3 - a(n-1)a(n+1)^3, a(2n)=a(n+2)a(n)a(n-1)^2 - a(n)a(n-2)a(n+1)^2.

PROGRAM

(PARI) a(n)=local(an); if(n<0, -a(-n), if(n==0, 0, an=vector(max(3, n), i, 1); an[3]=-1; for(k=5, n, an[k]=(an[k-1]*an[k-3]+an[k-2]^2)/an[k-4]); an[n]))

(PARI) a(n)=local(an); if(n<0, -a(-n), if(n==0, 0, an=Vec((-1-2*x+sqrt(1+4*x-4*x^3+O(x^n)))/(2*x^2)); matdet(matrix((n-1)\2, (n-1)\2, i, j, if(i+j-1-n%2<0, 0, an[i+j-n%2])))))

(PARI) a(n)=local(E, z); E=ellinit([0, 0, -1, -1, 0]); z=ellpointtoz(E, [0, 0]); round(ellsigma(E, n*z)/sqrt(-ellsigma(E, z)*ellsigma(E, 3*z)/ellsigma(E, 2*z)^2)^(n^2)) /* Michael Somos Oct 22 2004 */

CROSSREFS
