G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (1,0,1,-1).
FORMULA
From Chai Wah Wu, May 29 2016: (Start)
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-3) - a(n-4) for n>4.
G.f.: x^2*(x^2 + 3*x + 4)/(x^4 - x^3 - x + 1). (End)
From Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jun 10 2016: (Start)
a(n) = (24*n-15+6*cos(2*n*Pi/3)-4*sqrt(3)*sin(2*n*Pi/3))/9.
a(3k) = 8k-1, a(3k-1) = 8k-4, a(3k-2) = 8k-8. (End)
MAPLE
