COMMENT

Apply the Chebyshev transform (1/(1+x^2), x/(1+x^2)) followed by the binomial involution (1/(1-x),-x/(1-x)) (expressed as Riordan arrays) to -A001045(n). All elements are multiples of a power of 3. - Ralf Stephan, Jan 28 2005

FORMULA

G.f.: x(1-x)^2/(1-3x+3x^2); a(n)=-sum{j=0..n, (-1)^j*C(n, j)*sum{k=0..floor(j/2), (-1)^k*C(n-k, k)A001045(j-2k)}}.

Recurrence: a(n+2) = 3a(n-1) - 3a(n), starting with 0, 1, 1, 1. - Ralf Stephan, Jan 28 2005

PROGRAM

(PARI) {a(n) = if( n<0, 0, polcoeff( x * (1 - x)^2 / (1 - 3*x + 3*x^2) + x * O(x^n), n))} /* Michael Somos Sep 29 2007 */

(PARI) {a(n) = if(n<2, n>0, 3^(n\2-1) * (-1)^((n+1)\6) * (1 + (-1)^((n-1)\3) * (n%3==1)))} /* Michael Somos Sep 29 2007 */
