cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Formula

a(n) = (n+3/2-(n+1/2)*(-1)^n)*(-1)^C(n+1,2).
a(0)=1, a(1)=-4, a(2)=-1, a(3)=8, a(n) = -2*a(n-2)-a(n-4). - Harvey P. Dale, Mar 06 2012
