FORMULA

abs(a(2n-1))=A004738(n)-1 where sign(a(2*n-1)) alternates between 2 consecutive zeros. b(n)=a(2n)-floor(sqrt(n))+1 is an infinite binary word consisting in a sequence of bloc (0,1) and single 0's where 0's occur when n is of form k^2-1, k>=2 i.e. b(n) begins for n>=1 : (0,1),0,(0,1),(0,1),0,(0,1),(0,1),(0,1),0,(0,1),... and single 0's occur at n=3,8,15,...

PROGRAM

(PARI) ? an=vector(10000); ? an[1]=0; an[2]=0; an[3]=1; ? a(n)=if(n<0, 0, an[n]); ? for(n=4, 10000, an[n]=abs(a(n-1)-a(n-2))-a(n-3))
