G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (1,0,-1,1).
FORMULA
From R. J. Mathar, Apr 20 2010: (Start)
a(n) = a(n-1) - a(n-3) + a(n-4).
G.f.: ( -1-4*x+x^2-17*x^3 ) / ( (x-1)*(1+x)*(x^2-x+1) ). (End)
From G. C. Greubel, Mar 13 2016: (Start)
a(n) = a(n-6).
E.g.f.: 7*cosh(x) + 14*sinh(x) - 6*exp(x/2)*cos(sqrt(3)*x/2) - 4*sqrt(3)*exp(x/2)*sin(sqrt(3)*x/2). (End)
