COMMENTS

This sequence is related to the tridecagon or triskaidecagon (13-gon).

The lengths of the diagonals of the regular tridecagon are r[k] = sin(k*Pi/13)/sin(Pi/13), 1 <= k <= 6, where r[1] = 1 is the length of the edge.

FORMULA

G.f.: 1/(1-3*x-6*x^2+4*x^3+5*x^4-x^5-x^6). - Roger Bagula and Gary Adamson, Sep 19 2006

a(n-2) = T(n,3) with T(n,k) = sum(T(n-1,k1), k1=7-k..6), T(1,1) = T(1,2) = T(1,3) = T(1,4) = T(1,5) = 0 and T(1,6) = 1, n>=1 and 1 <= k <= 6. [Steinbach]

sum(T(n,k)*r[k], k=1..6) = r[6]^n, n>=1, with r[k] = sin(k*Pi/13)/sin(Pi/13) [Steinbach]
