COMMENT

This sequence is the (type 1A) "jbasejfor" transformation of the sequence (-1, -1, -1, -1, ..) with respect to the floretion given in the program code. Under the same conditions, the jbasejfor transformation of the sequence (1, 1, 1, 1, ...) is A006253 [Number of perfect matchings (or domino tilings) in C_4 X P_n]; the jbasejfor transformation of the sequence (1, -1, 1, -1, ...) is A001075 [Chebyshev's T(n,x) polynomials evaluated at x=2]; the jbasejfor transformation of the sequence (-1, 1, -1, 1, ...) is A001353 [3*a(n)^2 + 1 is a perfect square]. In this sense, the sequences (a(n)), A006253, A001075 and A001353 form a "quartett".

FORMULA

G.f. (2*x+1)*(1-x)/((x+1)*(x^2-4*x+1)). a(n) + a(n+1) = A054491(n+1) - A054491(n)
