COMMENT

Reflected (A074058) tribonacci numbers A000073: A000073(n) = a(1-n).

There is an alternative way to produce this sequence, from A000073, which is 0,0,1,1,2,4,7,13,24,44,... Call this {b(n)}. Taking x1 = (b(2))^2 - b(1)*b(3) = 0; x2 = (b(3))^2 - b(2)*b(4) = 1; x3 = (b(4))^2 - b(3)*b(5) = -1; x4 = 0, x5 = 2, we generate (0),0,1,-1,0,2,-3,1. - John McNamara (mistermac39(AT)yahoo.com), Jan 02 2004
