FORMULA

a(n) = 1/n * Sum{ L(n, k) : n+k = 3 mod 4}, where L(n, k) = Sum{ mu(d)*{n/d choose k/d} : d|GCD(n, k)}

MATHEMATICA

L[n_, k_] := Sum[ MoebiusMu[d]*Binomial[n/d, k/d], {d, Divisors[GCD[n, k]]}]/n; a[n_] := Sum[ If[ Mod[n+k, 4] == 3, L[n, k], 0], {k, 0, n}]; Table[a[n], {n, 1, 32}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Jun 28 2012, from formula *)

PROG

(PARI)

L(n, k) = sumdiv(gcd(n, k), d, moebius(d) * binomial(n/d, k/d) );

a(n) = sum(k=0, n, if( (n+k)%4==3, L(n, k), 0 ) ) / n;
