FORMULA

G.f.: (1+x^2)/((1-x)^3*(1-x^2)^2).

l(c, r) = 1/2 C(c+r-3, r) + 1/2 d(c, r), where d(c, r) is C((c + r - 3)/2, r/2) if c is odd and r is even, 0 if c is even and r is odd, C((c + r - 4)/2, r/2) if c is even and r is even, C((c + r - 4)/2, (r - 1)/2) if c is odd and r is odd.

a(-5-n)=a(n) . - Michael Somos Mar 08 2007

Euler transform of length 4 sequence [ 3, 3, 0, -1]. - Michael Somos Mar 08 2007

MAPLE

(Maple) a := n -> (Matrix([[1, 0$4, 1, 3]]).Matrix(7, (i, j)-> if (i=j-1) then 1 elif j=1 then [3, -1, -5, 5, 1, -3, 1][i] else 0 fi)^n)[1, 1]; seq (a(n), n=0..40); [From Alois P. Heinz (heinz(AT)hs-heilbronn.de), Jul 31 2008]
