%N An accelerator sequence for Catalan's constant.

%C The pair A094648 and the alternating sequence A033304 when joined form a two-sided sequence defined by the recurrence formula x(n+3) + x(n+2) - 2x(n+1) - x(n) = 0, n in Z, x(-1)=-2, x(0)=3, x(1)=-1 - for details see Witula's comments to A033304. - _Roman Witula_, Jul 25 2012

%C From _Roman Witula_, Aug 09 2012: (Start)

%C There exist two interesting subsequences b(n) and c(n) of the given above sequence x(n) defined by the following relations: b(n)=a(2^n) and c(n)=x(-2^n). These subsequences satisfy the following system of recurrence equations:

%C b(n+1)=b(n)^2-2*c(n), and c(n+1)=c(n)^2-2*b(n),

%C which easily follow from the general identity: x(n)^2=x(2*n)-2*x(-n), n in Z. We note that b(0)=-1, b(1)=5, b(2)=13, b(3)=117, c(0)=-2, c(1)=6, c(2)=26, c(3)=650. From the above system we deduce that all b(n) are odd, whereas all c(n) are even. Moreover we obtain c(n+1)-b(n+1)=(c(n)-b(n))*(b(n)+c(n)+2), which yields b(n+1)-c(n+1)=product{k=1,..,n}(b(k)+c(k)+2)=13*product{k=2,..,n}(b(k)+c(k)+2)=13^2*41*product{k=3,..,n}(b(k)+c(k)+2). It follows that b(n)-c(n) is divisible by 13^2*41 for every n=3,4,..., and after using the above system again each b(n) and c(n), for n=2,3,..., is divisible by 13. (End)

%C If we set W(n):=3*A077998(n)-A006054(n+1)-A006054(n), n=0,1,..., then a(n)=(W(n)^2-W(2*n))/2 and W(n) = (-c(1))^(-n) + (-c(2))^(-n) + (-c(4))^(-n) = (-c(1)*c(2))^n + (-c(1)*c(4))^n + (-c(2)*c(4))^n = (-1-c(1))^n + (-1-c(2))^n + (-1-c(4))^n, where c(j):=2*cos(2*Pi*j/7) - for the proof see Witula-Slota-Warzynski's paper. Moreover it follows from the comment at the top and from comments to A033304 that W(n+1)=A033304(n)=(-1)^(n+1)*x(-n-1). - _Roman Witula_, Aug 11 2012

%C The following trigonometric type identitities hold true: (1) -a(n-1)-a(n) = c(1)*c(2)^n + c(2)*c(4)^n + c(4)*c(1)^n and (2) a(n)-a(n+2) = c(4)*c(2)^(n+1) + c(1)*c(4)^(n+1) + c(2)*c(1)^(n+1), where a(-1)=-2 and c(j) is defined as above (see also the respective comment to A033304). For the proof see Remark 6 in Witula's paper. - _Roman Witula_, Aug 14 2012

%C It can be proved that A033304(n-1)*(-1)^n = (a(n)^2 - a(2*n))/2, n=1,2,... - _Roman Witula_, Sep 30 2012

%C With respect to the form of the trigonometric formulas describing a(n), we call this sequence the Berndt-type sequence number 19 for the argument 2*Pi/7. The A-numbers of other Berndt-type sequences numbers are given in below. - _Roman Witula_, Sep 30 2012
