%F a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-2) + a(n-3) (holds at least up to n = 1000 but is not known to hold in general).

%F Empirical g.f.: (5-x+3*x^2) / (1-2*x+x^2-x^3). - _Colin Barker_, Jun 05 2016

%F Theorem: E(5,9) satisfies a(n) = 2 a(n - 1) - a(n - 2) + a(n - 3) for n>=3. Proved using the PtoRv program of Ekhad-Sloane-Zeilberger, and implies the above conjectures. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Sep 09 2016
