COMMENTS

A Lam{\'e} sequence of higher order.

For n>=1, a(n) = number of compositions of n in which each part is >=7. [From Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Jun 28 2010]

FORMULA

G.f.: (x-1)/(x-1+x^7). [From Alois P. Heinz (heinz(AT)hs-heilbronn.de), Aug 04 2008]

For positive integers n and k such that k <= n <= 7*k, and 6 devides n-k, define c(n,k) = binomial(k,(n-k)/6), and c(n,k) = 0, otherwise. Then, for n>=1, a(n+7) = sum(c(n,k), k=1..n). - Milan Janjic, Dec 09 2011

MAPLE

f := proc(r) local t1, i; t1 := []; for i from 1 to r do t1 := [op(t1), 0]; od: for i from 1 to r+1 do t1 := [op(t1), 1]; od: for i from 2*r+2 to 50 do t1 := [op(t1), t1[i-1]+t1[i-1-r]]; od: t1; end; # set r = order

(Maple) a := n -> (Matrix(7, (i, j)-> if (i=j-1) then 1 elif j=1 then [1, 0$5, 1][i] else 0 fi)^n)[7, 7]; seq (a(n), n=0..50); [From Alois P. Heinz (heinz(AT)hs-heilbronn.de), Aug 04 2008]
