Examples

			For n>=1, convergents A118825(k)/A118826(k) are:
at k = 4*n: 1/A080277(n);
at k = 4*n+1: 2/(2*A080277(n)-1);
at k = 4*n+2: 1/(A080277(n)-1);
at k = 4*n-1: 0.
Convergents begin:
-2/1, -1/1, 0/-1, -1/-1, 2/1, 1/0, 0/1, 1/4,
-2/-7, -1/-3, 0/-1, -1/-5, 2/9, 1/4, 0/1, 1/12,
-2/-23, -1/-11, 0/-1, -1/-13, 2/25, 1/12, 0/1, 1/16,
-2/-31, -1/-15, 0/-1, -1/-17, 2/33, 1/16, 0/1, 1/32, ...

Formula

a(4*n) = (-1)^n*A080277(n); a(4*n+1) = -(-1)^n*(2*A080277(n)-1); a(4*n+2) = -(-1)^n*(A080277(n)-1); a(4*n-1) = (-1)^n.
