Comments

With interpolated zeros, a Chebyshev transform of A056594, which has g.f. 1/(1+x^2). The image of G(x) under the Chebyshev transform is (1/(1+x^2))G(x/(1+x^2)).

a(n) is the ceiling of the inverse fractional error in approximating phi, the golden section, by the ratio of two successive terms in the Fibonacci series. - Adam Helman (helman(AT)san.rr.com), May 09 2010

Formula

G.f.: (1+x)/(1+3x+x^2).

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n-k, k)(-1)^k*cos((n-2k)*Pi/2) (with interpolated zeros);

a(n) = Fibonacci(n+1)(-1)^(n/2)(1 + (-1)^n)/2 (with interpolated zeros).

a(n) = -3*a(n-1) - a(n-2), a(0)=1, a(1)=-2. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 03 2008

From Adam Helman (helman(AT)san.rr.com), May 09 2010: (Start)

a(n) = ceiling( phi / (Fibonacci(n+1)/Fibonacci(n) - phi) ).

An exact expression for the inverse fractional error is phi / (Fibonacci(n+1)/Fibonacci(n) - phi) = (phi/sqrt(5)) * ((-1)^n *(phi^2n) - 1). (End)

a(n) = (-1)^n*A122367(n). - R. J. Mathar, Jul 23 2010

Example

a(3) = (-1)^3 * Fibonacci(2 * 3 + 1) = -Fibonacci(7) = -13. - Indranil Ghosh, Feb 04 2017
