Conjecture: number of roots of x^n + 1 in the left half-plane for n > 0. - Michel Lagneau, Oct 31 2012
Maximum bias of polyominoes with n+1 squares. Define the bias of a polyomino to be the difference between the number of black squares and the number of white squares when chessboard coloring is applied to the polyomino. Maximum bias for the value n is defined to be the maximum value of bias among all polyominoes of n squares. - John Mason, Dec 24 2013

FORMULA

G.f.: (1-x+x^2+x^3)/(1-x-x^4+x^5)=(1+x^2+2x^3+x^4+2x^5+x^6)/(1-x^4)^2.
a(n) = sum{k=0..n, -mu(k mod 4)}.
a(n) = cos(Pi*n/2)/2-sin(Pi*n/2)/2+(-1)^n/4+(2n+1)/4.
a(n) = sum{k=0..n, Jacobi(2^k, 2k+1)} [Conjecture]. - Paul Barry, Jul 23 2005
a(n) = sum{k=0..n, Product{j=1..k, ((-1)^j)^(k-j+1)}}. - Paul Barry, Nov 09 2007
a(n) = numbers of times cos(-Pi/n+2k*Pi/n) < 0 for k = 0..n-1. - Michel Lagneau, Nov 02 2012
a(n) = ((n - 1) mod 4)/2 + (n+1)/2 - 1. - John Mason, Dec 24 2013
