COMMENT

Also fourth differences of (A057979 with (4n+3)-th terms negative = 1, n, -1, n+1). Also 8*(without 0, A004525 signed).

FORMULA

a(n)= -2*a(n-1)-2*a(n-2)-2*a(n-3)-a(n-4) = -8*(-1)^n*A004525(n+1). G.f.: -8(1+x+x^2)/((1+x^2)(1+x)^2). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Feb 07 2009]

MAPLE
