0,1

Also binomial transform of periodic sequence with period (2, 3, -5).

Sequence is identical to its third differences.

a(0) = 2; a(1) = 5; for n > 1, a(n) = a(n-1)-a(n-2).

a(0) = 2; a(1) = 5; a(2) = 3; a(3) = -2; a(4) = -5; a(5) = -3; for n > 5, a(n) = a(n-6).

G.f.: (2+3*x)/(1-x+x^2).

a(n)=(1/6)*{-5*(n mod 6)-2*[(n+1) mod 6]+3*[(n+2) mod 6]+5*[(n+3) mod 6]+2*[(n+4) mod 6]-3*[(n+5) mod 6]}, with n>=0 - Paolo P. Lava (ppl(AT)spl.at), Aug 01 2007

a(n) = 2*cos(1/3*Pi*n)+8/3*3^(1/2)*sin(1/3*Pi*n). - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Nov 15 2007
