COMMENTS
Knuth defines the negaFibonacci numbers as follows: F(-1) = 1, F(-2) = -1, F(-3) = 2, F(-4) = -3, F(-5) = 5, ..., F(-n) = (-1)^(n-1) F(n). See A215022, A215023 for the negaFibonacci representation of n. - N. J. A. Sloane, Aug 03 2012
The ratio of successive terms converges to -1/phi. - Jonathan Vos Post, Dec 10 2006
The sequence a(n), n >= 0 := 0, 1, -1, 2, -3, 5, -8, 13, ... is the inverse binomial transform of A000045. - Philippe Deléham, Oct 28 2008
Equals the INVERTi transform of A038754, assuming that an additional A038754(0) = 1 is added in front of A038754, and that the a(n) are prefixed with another 1 and then get offset 0. - Gary W. Adamson, Jan 08 2011
If we remove a(-2) and then set the offset to 0, we have the INVERT transform of a signed A011782: (1, -1, 2, -4, 8, -16, 32, ...).- Gary W. Adamson, Jan 08 2011
The sequence 0, 1, -1, 2, -3, 5, -8, 13, -21, 34, -55, 89, -144, ... (starting at offset 0) is the Lucas U(-1,-1) sequence. - R. J. Mathar, Jan 08 2013
This sequence appears in the formula for 1/rho(5)^n, with rho(5) = (1 + sqrt(5))/2 = phi (golden section), when written in the power basis <1, rho(5)> of the quadratic number field Q(rho(5)): 1/rho(5)^n = a(n+1) * 1 + a(n) * rho(5), n >= -2. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 04 2013
a(n) = A227431(n + 4, n + 3). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 01 2014
The sequence 1, -1, 2, -3, 5, -8, 13, -21, 34, -55, 89, -144, ... (starting at offset 1) is the reversion of the g.f. for the "shadows" of Motzkin numbers with offset 1 (see A343773). - Gennady Eremin, Jul 16 2021

FORMULA
G.f.: (1+2*x)/(x^2*(1+x-x^2)).
a(n-2) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-2)^k*A055830(n, k). - Philippe Deléham, Oct 18 2006
a(n) = ((phi - 1)^n + 1/phi*(-(1/phi) - 1)^(n+1))/sqrt(5), where phi = (1 + sqrt(5))/2. - Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Oct 28 2012
a(n) = Sum_{k = 1..n} binomial(n-1, k-1)*Fibonacci(k)*(-1)^(n-k), n > 0, a(0) = 1. - Perminova Maria, Jan 22 2013
G.f.: 1 + x/(Q(0) - x) where Q(k) = 1 - x/(x*k - 1)/Q(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Feb 23 2013
G.f.: 2 - 2/(Q(0) + 1) where Q(k) = 1 + 2*x/(1 - x/(x + 1/Q(k+1) )); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Apr 05 2013

G.f.: Q(0)/x - 1/x + 1+ x, where Q(k) = 1 + x^2 + x^3 + k*x*(1+x^2) - x^2*(1 + x*(k+2))*(1+k*x)/Q(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jan 13 2014
a(n) = -(-1)^n*A000045(n), at least for all n >= 0 (and also for n < 0 if A000045 is extended to negative indices). - M. F. Hasler, May 10 2017
EXAMPLE
From Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 04 2013: (Start)
With the golden section phi = rho(5) = (1 + sqrt(5))/2:
n = -2: phi^2 = a(-1)*1 + a(-2)*phi = 1 + phi,
n = -1: phi = a(0)*1 + a(-1)*phi = phi, (trivial)
n = 0: 1/phi^0 = a(1)*1 + a(0)*phi = 1, (trivial)
n = 1: 1/phi = a(2)*1 + a(1)*phi = -1 + phi,
n = 2: 1/phi^2 = a(3)*1 + a(2)*phi = 2 - phi, ... (End)
G.f. = x^-2 + x^-1 + x - x^2 + 2*x^3 - 3*x^4 + 5*x^5 - 8*x^6 + 13*x^7 - ...
