COMMENTS

a(n)=A070438(n) [Proof: n^6-n^2 =0 (mod 15) is shown explicitly for n=0 to 14, then the induction n->n+15 for the 6th order polynomial followed by binomial expansion of (n+15)^k concludes that the zero (mod 15) is periodically extended to the other integers.] [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jul 23 2009]

FORMULA

a(n)= +a(n-15). G.f. -x*(1+x) *(x^12+3*x^11+6*x^10-5*x^9+15*x^8-9*x^7+13*x^6-9*x^5+15*x^4-5*x^3+6*x^2+3*x+1) / ( (x-1) *(1+x^4+x^3+x^2+x) *(1+x+x^2) *(1-x+x^3-x^4+x^5-x^7+x^8) ). - R. J. Mathar, Mar 14 2011
