Programs

Scheme

(define (A286541 n) (if (<= n 2) 0 (* (/ 1 2) (+ (expt (+ (A004001 (A004001 (- n 1))) (A004001 (- n (A004001 (- n 1))))) 2) (- (A004001 (A004001 (- n 1)))) (- (* 3 (A004001 (- n (A004001 (- n 1)))))) 2))))

Formula

a(1) = a(2) = 0, for n > 2, a(n) = (1/2)*(2 + ((A004001(A004001(n-1))+A004001(n-A004001(n-1)))^2) - A004001(A004001(n-1)) - 3*A004001(n-A004001(n-1))).
