Table of n, a(n) for n=0..108.

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (-1,-1,-1).

FORMULA

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

a(n) = (-1)^floor(n/2)/2+(-1)^n/2.

a(n) = cos(Pi*n/2)/2 + sin(Pi*n/2)/2 + cos(Pi*n)/2.

a(n) = -a(n-1)-a(n-2)-a(n-3) for n>2 with a(0)=1, a(1)=a(2)=0. - Jaume Oliver Lafont, Dec 05 2008
