COMMENT

Molien series of 2-dimensional representation of cyclic group of order 3 over GF(2).

One step back, two steps forward.

The crossing number of the graph C(n, {1,3}), n >= 8, is [n/3] + n mod 3, which gives this sequence starting at the first 4. [Yang Yuansheng et al.]

A Chebyshev transform of A078008. The g.f. is the image of (1-x)/(1-x-2x^2) (g.f. of A078008) under the Chebyshev transform A(x)-> 1/(1+x^2))A(x/(1+x^2)). - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Oct 15 2004

FORMULA

a(n) = a(n-3)+1 = (n-1)-2*floor[(n-1)/3]. G.f.: (1+x^2+x^4)/(1-x^3)^2

After the initial term, has form {n, n+1, n+2} for n=0, 1, 2, ...

a(n)=sum{k=0..n, (-1)^floor(2(k-2)/3) }; a(n)=4sqrt(3)cos(2*pi*n/3+pi/6)/9+(n+1)/3. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Mar 18 2004

G.f. : (1-x+x^2)/(1-x-x^3+x^4); a(n)=sum{k=0..floor(n/2), binomial(n-k, k)*A078008(n-2k)*(-1)^k}. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Oct 15 2004
