+# OEIS A100434: auxiliary Pell-sequence identities
+
+A100434 is the integer sequence with generating function
+
+$$(1+x)(3+x)/(1+6x^2+x^4),$$
+
+beginning `3, 4, -17, -24, 99, 140, ...`.
+
+An OEIS comment records auxiliary sequences `b`, `c`, `d`, `e`, `f`, and `g`,
+and uses the primary sequence first under the name `a` and later under the name
+`h`. The surrounding prose says that the three displayed sums all represent
+`c` with adjacent terms swapped. Consequently, the printed identity
+`c(n) + d(n) = b(n)` is missing its alternating sign:
+
+`c n + d n = (-1)^(n+1) * b n`.

+The OEIS text prints `c(n) + d(n) = b(n)`, but the listed values and the

+`c(n) + d(n) = (-1)^(n+1) * b(n)`.
