Number of permutations satisfying -k<=p(i)-i<=r, i=1..n-4, with k=1, r=4. - Vladimir Baltic (baltic(AT)matf.bg.ac.yu), Jan 17 2005

a(n)=number of compositions of n-4 with no part greater than 5. Example: a(12)=61 because we have 61 compositions of 8: 8=1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=2+1+1+1+1+1+1=...=2+2+1+1+1+1=...=2+2+2+1+1=...=2+2+2+2 =3+1+1+1+1+1=...=3+2+1+1+1=...=3+2+2+1=...=3+3+1+1=...=3+3+2=... =4+1+1+1+1=...=4+2+1+1=...=4+2+2=...=4+3+1=...=5+1+1+1=...=5+2+1=...=5+3=3+5 - Vladimir Baltic (baltic(AT)matf.bg.ac.yu), Jan 17 2005

Another form of the g.f.: f(z)=(z^4-z^5)/(1-2*z+z^6); then a(n)=sum((-1)^i*binomial(n-4-5*i,i)*2^(n-4-6*i),i=0..floor((n-4)/6))-sum((-1)^i*binomial(n-5-5*i,i)*2^(n-5-6*i),i=0..floor((n-5)/6)) with convention sum(alpha(i),i=m..n)=0 for m>n. [From Richard Choulet (richardchoulet(AT)yahoo.fr), Feb 22 2010]

a(n)=sum(sum(binomial(k,r)*sum(binomial(r,m)*sum(binomial(m,j)*binomial(j,n-m-k-j-r),j,0,m),m,0,r),r,0,k),k,1,n), n>0 [From Kruchinin Vladimir (kru(AT)ie.tusur.ru), Aug 30 2010]

sum_{k=0..4*n} A001591(k+b)*A035343(n,k) = A001591(5*n+b), b>=0.

a(n) = 2*a(n-1)-a(n-6) with initial values 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1. [From Vincenzo Librandi, Dec 19 2010]
