Comments

The g.f. function below was calculated in Sage (using Fripertinger's method) and compared with the one in Lisonek's (2007) Example 5.3 (p. 627). - Petros Hadjicostas, Oct 02 2019

Formula

G.f.: (x^12 - 2*x^11 + x^10 - x^9 - x^6 + x^4 - x - 1)*x^3/((x^6 + x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x + 1)*(x^2 + x + 1)^2*(x^2 + 1)*(x + 1)^2*(x - 1)^7) = (-x^15 + 2*x^14 - x^13 + x^12 + x^9 - x^7 + x^4 + x^3)/((1 - x)^2*(-x^2 + 1)*(-x^3 + 1)^2*(-x^4 + 1)*(-x^7 + 1)). - Petros Hadjicostas, Oct 02 2019
