Row sums of Riordan array (1/(1-x), x/(1-x)^4), A109960. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jul 06 2005

FORMULA

a(n)=5a(n-1)-6a(n-2)+4a(n-3)-a(n-4) =a(n-1)+A055991(n-1) =A055989(n)-A055989(n-1) =A055990(n)-2*A055990(n-1)+A055990(n-2)

G.f.: (1-x)^3/(1-5x+6x^2-4x^3+x^4); a(n)=sum{k=0..n, binomial(n+3k, 4k)}. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jul 06 2005
