%N Powers of -2: a(n) = (-2)^n.

%C The number -2 can be used as a base of numeration (see the Weisstein link). - _Alonso del Arte_, Mar 30 2014

%C Contribution from _M. F. Hasler_, Oct 21 2014: (Start)

%C This is the inverse binomial transform of A033999 = n->(-1)^n, and the binomial transform of A033999*A000244 = n->(-3)^n, see also A141413.

%C Prefixed with one 0, i.e., (0,1,-2,4,...) = -A033999*A131577, it is the binomial transform of (0, 1, -4, 13, -40, 121,...) = -A033999*A003462, and inverse binomial transform of (0,1,0,1,0,1,...) = A000035.

%C Prefixed with two 0's, i.e., (0,0,1,-2,4,-8,...), it is the binomial transform of (0,0,1,-5,18,-58,179,-543,...) (cf. A000340) and inverse binomial transform of (0,0,1,1,2,2,3,3,...) = A004526. (End)

%C Prefixed with three 0's, this is the inverse binomial difference of (0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16,...) = concat(0, A002620), which has as successive differences (0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2,...) = A004526, then (0, 1, 0, 1,...) = A000035, then (1, -1, 1, -1,...) = A033999, and then (-2)^k*A033999 with k=1,2,3,... - _Paul Curtz_, Oct 16 2014, edited by _M. F. Hasler_, Oct 21 2014

%C Stirling-Bernoulli transform of triangular numbers: 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, ... - _Philippe Deléham_, May 25 2015
