Index entries for "core" sequences

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (2,-1).

Formula

a(n) = -n.

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

G.f. A(x) satisfies A(x) + A(-x) = 4A(x^2), A(x)A(-x) = A(x^2), A(x)^2 + A(x^2) = 4A(x)A(x^2). - Michael Somos, Mar 23 2004

a(n) = -A000027(n). - Felix Fröhlich, Jul 23 2021
