COMMENTS

Contribution by L. Edson Jeffery, April 20, 2011. (Start):

Let U be the unit-primitive matrix (see [Jeffery])

U=U_(11,2)=

(0 0 1 0 0)

(0 1 0 1 0)

(1 0 1 0 1)

(0 1 0 1 1)

(0 0 1 1 1).

Then a(n)=Trace(U^(n+1)). Evidently this is one of a class of accelerator sequences for Catalan's constant based on traces of successive powers of a unit-primitive matrix U_(N,r) (0<r<floor(N/2)) and for which the closed-form expression for a(n) is derived from the eigenvalues of U_(N,r). (End)

FORMULA

G.f.: x*(4-4*x-15*x^2+8*x^3+5*x^4)/(1-4*x+2*x^2+5*x^3-2*x^4-x^5) [From Maksym Voznyy (voznyy(AT)mail.ru), Aug 11 2009]

-A062883 = series expansion of (5-8*x-15*x^2+4*x^3+4*x^4)/(1-2*x-5*x^2+2*x^3+4*x^4+x^5) at x=infinity. (See also A189236.) - L. Edson Jeffery, April 20, 2011.

Also, a(n)=Sum_{k=1..5} ((w_k)^2-1)^(n+1), w_k=2*(-1)^(k-1)*cos(k*Pi/11), in which the polynomials {(w_k)^2-1} give the spectrum of the matrix U_(11,2) above. - L. Edson Jeffery, April 20, 2011.
