Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (1,0,0,1,-1).
FORMULA
From Colin Barker, May 14 2012: (Start)
a(n) = (-5 - (-1)^n + (-i)^n + i^n + 8*n)/4 where i=sqrt(-1).
G.f.: x*(1 + x + 3*x^2 + 2*x^3 + x^4)/((1-x)^2*(1+x)*(1+x^2)). (End)
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-4) - a(n-5) for n>5. - Vincenzo Librandi, May 17 2012
E.g.f.: (2 + cos(x) + (4*x - 2)*sinh(x) + (4*x - 3)*cosh(x))/2. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jun 01 2016
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = (sqrt(2)+2)*Pi/16 + log(2)/8 + sqrt(2)*log(3-2*sqrt(2))/16. - Amiram Eldar, Dec 24 2021
