For n>=1 and i=sqrt(-1) let F(n) the n X n matrix of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) whose element (j,k) equals exp(-2*Pi*i*(j-1)*(k-1)/n)/sqrt(n). The multiplicities of the four eigenvalues 1, i, -1, -i of F(n) are a(n+4), a(n-1), a(n+2), a(n+1), hence a(n+4) + a(n-1) + a(n+2) + a(n+1) = n for n>=1. E.g., the multiplicities of the eigenvalues 1, i, -1, -i of the DFT-matrix F(4) are a(8)=2, a(3)=0, a(6)=1, a(5)=1, summing up to 4. - Franz Vrabec, Jan 21 2005

a(n) = (-1)^binomial(n,2) = (-1)^floor(n/2) = 1/2*((n+2) mod 4 - n mod 4). For fixed r = 0,1,2,..., it appears that (-1)^binomial(n,2^r) gives a periodic sequence of period 2^(r+1), the period consisting of a block of 2^r plus ones followed by a block of 2^r minus ones. See A033999 (r = 0), A143621 (r = 2) and A143622 (r = 3). Define E(k) = sum {n = 0..inf} a(n)*n^k/n! for k = 0,1,2,... . Then E(0) = cos(1) + sin(1), E(1) = cos(1) - sin(1) and E(k) is an integral linear combination of E(0) and E(1) (a Dobinski-type relation). Precisely, E(k) = A121867(k) * E(0) - A121868(k) * E(1). See A143623 and A143624 for the decimal expansions of E(0) and E(1) respectively. For a fixed value of r, similar relations hold between the values of the sums E_r(k) := Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^floor(n/r)*n^k/n!, k = 0,1,2,... . For particular cases see A000587 (r = 1) and A143628 (r = 3). - Peter Bala, Aug 28 2008

Periodic sequence with period 8. More generally, it appears that (-1)^binomial(n,2^r) gives a periodic sequence of period 2^(r+1), the period consisting of a block of 2^r plus ones followed by a block of 2^r minus ones. See A033999 (r = 0), A057077 (r = 1) and A143622 (r = 3).

a(n) = (-1)^binomial(n,4) = (-1)^floor(n/4), since Sum_{k = 1..n-3} k*(k+1)(k+2)/3! = binomial(n,4) == floor(n/4) (mod 2) for n = 0,1,...,7 by calculation and both sides increase by an even number if we substitute n+8 for n.
a(n) = (1/4)*((n+4) mod 8 - n mod 8).
O.g.f.: (1+x+x^2+x^3)/(1+x^4) = (1+x)*(1+x^2)/(1+x^4) = (1-x^4)/((1-x)*(1+x^4)).
Define E(k) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*n^k/n! for k = 0,1,2,... . Then E(k) is an integral linear combination of E(0), E(1), E(2) and E(3) (a Dobinski-type relation).
