LINKS

Index to sequences with linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (0,2,2,1,-2,-2,-2,-1).

FORMULA

x^2/2*((-x-x^2)/(x^4+2x^3+x^2-1)+(-x-x^2)/(x^4+x^2-1)).

G.f. -x^3*(x^3+x-1)*(1+x)^2 / ( (1+x+x^2)*(x^2+x-1)*(x^4+x^2-1) )

EXAMPLE

a(7)=3 because there are 3 fibered rational knots with 7 crossings: 7_1, 7_6 and 7_7 (in Alexander-Briggs notation)

MATHEMATICA

f[x_] = -(x+1)^2*(x^3+x-1) / ((x^2+x-1)*(x^2+x+1)*(x^4+x^2-1)); CoefficientList[ Series[f[x], {x, 0, 39}], x]; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 20}](* From Jean-François Alcover, Nov 21 2011 *)
