COMMENT

Derived from G.J. Chaitin's s formula.

Chaitin's expression is s(0)=0, s(1)=alpha, s(2)=1, s(n)=Sum{ s[n-k]*s[k], k=2..n-1}, but here it is made to alternate with the introduction of (-1)^k so that the numbers do not get large fast and alternate back and forth like a boustrophedon (A072231).

s[n_Integer?Positive] := s[n]=Abs[Sum[(-1)^k*s[k-n]*s[k], {k, 2, n-1}]; s[0]=0; s[1]=1; s[2]=1; Table[ s[n], {n, 0, 200, 2}]
