Reinhard Zumkeller, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..10000

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

FORMULA

a(n)=a(n-5)+1. a(n)=a(n-1)+1 if n=1, 2 or 3 mod 5; a(n)=a(n-1)-1 if n=0 or 4 mod 5. G.f.: (x(1+x^2)(1+x)^2+x^3)/(1-x^5)^2.

a(n)=n/5+4/5*((n mod 5)mod 4)+6/5*floor((n mod 5)/4) [From Rolf Pleisch (r_pleisch(AT)gmx.ch), Jul 26 2009]

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := Quotient[n, 5] + {0, 1, 2, 3, 2}[[Mod[n, 5] + 1]]; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 82}] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Dec 12 2011, after Charles R Greathouse IV *)

PROG

(MAGMA) [ n le 4 select n-1 else n eq 5 select 2 else Self(n-5)+1: n in [1..83] ]; [From Klaus Brockhaus (klaus-brockhaus(AT)t-online.de), Apr 14 2009]

(Haskell)

a058207 n = a058207_list !! n

a058207_list = f [0, 1, 2, 3, 2] where f xs = xs ++ f (map (+ 1) xs)
