Comments

The general formula for alternating sums of powers of odd integers is in terms of the Swiss-Knife polynomials P(n,x) A153641 (P(n,0)-(-1)^k*P(n,2*k))/2. Here n=3, thus a(k) = |(P(3,0)-(-1)^k*P(3,2*k))/2|. - Peter Luschny, Jul 12 2009

Partial sums of A069190. - J. M. Bergot, Jul 13 2013

From Gerry Martens, Apr 06 2024: (Start)

a(n) = Imaginary part of -(1/2)*(2*n*i-1)^3.

a(n) = -4*(1/4 + n^2)^(3/2)*sin(3*arctan(2*n)). (End)
