Table of n, a(n) for n=0..22.

Eric Weisstein's World of Mathematics, Pochhammer Symbol.

Formula

Let w = exp(2*Pi*i/3) and set F(x) = (exp(x) + w^2*exp(w*x) + w*exp(w^2*x))/3 = x + x^4/4! + x^7/7! + ... . Then the e.g.f. for the sequence is F(log(1+x)).

a(n) = (-1)^n * ( (-1)_n + w^2 * (-w)_n + w * (-w^2)_n )/3, where (x)_n is the Pochhammer symbol.

Prog
