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) = (-3-(-1)^n+i*(-i)^n-i*i^n+8*n)/4 where i=sqrt(-1).
G.f.: x*(2+x+2*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 + sin(x) + (4*x - 1)*sinh(x) + (4*x - 2)*cosh(x))/2. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jun 02 2016
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = (4-sqrt(2))*Pi/16 - log(2)/8 + sqrt(2)*log(sqrt(2)-1)/8. - Amiram Eldar, Dec 25 2021
