Formula

From Michael Somos, May 12 2014: (Start)

Euler transform of length 6 sequence [2, 0, -1, 0, 0, 1].

G.f.: x * (1-x^3) / ( (1-x)^2 * (1-x^6) ).

a(n-1) = A047926(n) - A132868(n). (End)

From Wesley Ivan Hurt, Apr 04 2015, Sep 08 2015: (Start)

a(n) = 2*a(n-1)-a(n-2)-a(n-3)+2*a(n-4)-a(n-5), n>5.

a(n) = floor((n+3)/6) + floor((n+4)/6) + floor((n+5)/6).

a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n-1} floor(i/6) - floor((i-3)/6). (End)
