a(n)*(-1)^(n+1) = (2*(1-T(n,-3/2))/5), n>=0, with Chebyshev's polynomials T(n,x) of the first kind, is the r=-1 member of the r-family of sequences S_r(n) defined in A092184 where more information can be found. - Wolfdieter Lang, Oct 18 2004
From Giorgio Balzarotti, Mar 11 2009: (Start)
Determinant of power series with alternate signs of gamma matrix with determinant 1!.
a(n) = Determinant(A - A^2 + A^3 - A^4 + A^5 - ... - (-1)^n*A^n) where A is the submatrix A(1..2,1..2) of the matrix with factorial determinant.
A = [[1,1,1,1,1,1,...], [1,2,1,2,1,2,...], [1,2,3,1,2,3,...], [1,2,3,4,1,2,...], [1,2,3,4,5,1,...], [1,2,3,4,5,6,...], ...]; note: Determinant A(1..n,1..n) = (n-1)!.
a(n) is even with respect to signs of power of A.
See A158039...A158050 for sequence with matrix 2!, 3!, ... (End)
Equals the INVERT transform of (1, 3, 2, 2, 2, ...). Example: a(7) = 169 = (1, 1, 4, 9, 25, 64) dot (2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 1) = (2 + 2 + 8 + 18 + 75 + 64). - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 27 2009
This is a divisibility sequence.
a(n+1)*(-1)^n, n>=0, is the sequence of the alternating row sums of the Riordan triangle A158454. - Wolfdieter Lang, Dec 18 2010
a(n+1) is the number of tilings of a 2 X 2n rectangle with n tetrominoes of any shape, cf. A230031. - Alois P. Heinz, Nov 29 2013
This is the case P1 = 1, P2 = -6, Q = 1 of the 3 parameter family of 4th-order linear divisibility sequences found by Williams and Guy. - Peter Bala, Mar 31 2014
Differences between successive golden rectangle numbers A001654. - Jonathan Sondow, Nov 05 2015
a(n+1) is the number of 2 X n matrices that can be obtained from a 2 X n matrix by moving each element to an adjacent position, horizontally or vertically. This is because F(n+1) is the number of domino tilings of that matrix, therefore with a checkerboard coloring and two domino tilings we can move the black element of each domino of the first tiling to the white element of the same domino and similarly move the white element of each domino of the second tiling to the black element of the same domino. - Fabio Visonà, May 04 2022
In general, squaring the terms of a second-order linear recurrence with signature (c,d) will result in a third-order linear recurrence with signature (c^2+d,(c^2+d)*d,-d^3). - Gary Detlefs, Jan 05 2023

Formula

G.f.: x*(1-x)/((1+x)*(1-3*x+x^2)).
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) - a(n-3), n > 2. a(0)=0, a(1)=1, a(2)=1.

a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1; a(n) = a(n-1) + Sum(a(n-i)) + k, 0 <= i < n where k = 1 when n is odd, or k = -1 when n is even. E.g., a(2) = 1 = 1 + (1 + 1 + 0) - 1, a(3) = 4 = 1 + (1 + 1 + 0) + 1, a(4) = 9 = 4 + (4 + 1 + 1 + 0) - 1, a(5) = 25 = 9 + (9 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 0) + 1. - Sadrul Habib Chowdhury (adil040(AT)yahoo.com), Mar 02 2004
