COMMENT

Coefficients of (1+r)^m modulo r^4-r^2+1.

We have a(3*n-1)=A001075(n), a(3*n)=A001835(n-1), a(3*n+1)=A001353(n+1).

The sequence is also defined by a(0)=a(1)=1, a(k)=a(k-1)+a(k-3) when 3 divides k-1 and a(k)=a(k-1)+a(k-2) otherwise.

Satisfies a(n)^2-3*a(n-1)^2 when n=2 mod 3.

The first few principal and intermediate convergents to 3^(1/2) are 1/1, 2/1, 3/2, 5/3, 7/4, 12/7; essentially, numerators=A143642 and denominators=A140827. - Clark Kimberling (ck6(AT)evansville.edu), Aug 27 2008

FORMULA

a(n) = 4*a(n-3) - a(n-6)

EXAMPLE

(1+r)^(2+12*q)=(-1)^q*(a(1+18*q)*(1+r^2)+a(2+18*q)*r)

MAPLE

N:=100: a[0]:=1: a[1]:=1: for i from 2 to N do if i mod 3 = 1 then a[i]:=a[i-1]+a[i-3] else a[i]:=a[i-1]+a[i-2] fi od:
