COMMENT

Except for 1, n such that sum(k=1,n,(k mod 3)*C(n,k)) is a power of 2 - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Oct 17 2002

The sequence 0,0,2,0,0,5,0,0,8,.. has a(n)=n(1+cos(2pi*n/3+pi/3)-sqrt(3)sin(2pi*n+pi/3))/3 and o.g.f. x^2(2+x^3)/(1-x^3)^2. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jan 28 2004. Artur Jasinski (grafix(AT)csl.pl), Dec 11 2007, remarks that this should read Table[(3n + 2)(1 + Cos[2Pi*(3n + 2)/3 + Pi/3] - Sqrt[3] Sin[2Pi*(3n + 2)/3 + Pi/3])/3, {n, 0,20}] .

Except for 2, exponents e such that x^e+x+1 is reducible.

a(n) = A125199(n+1,1). - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)lhsystems.com), Nov 24 2006

Primitive roots of 3. - Paolo P. Lava (ppl(AT)spl.at), Feb 29 2008

FORMULA

G.f.: (2+x)/(1-x)^2. a(n)=3+a(n-1).

1/2 - 1/5 + 1/8 - 1/11...= (1/3)*(Pi/sqrt(3) - ln 2). [Jolley] - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Dec 16 2006
