COMMENTS

These Esanacci numbers follow the same pattern as Lucas, generalized tribonacci (A001644), generalized tetranacci (A073817) and generalized pentanacci(A074048) numbers. The closed form is a(n)=r1^n+r^2^n+r3^n+r4^n+r5^n+r6^n, with r1, r2, r3, r4, r5, r6 roots of the characteristic polynomial. a(n) is also the trace of A^n, where A is the esamatrix ((1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0), (1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0), (1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0), (1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0), (1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1), (1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0).

FORMULA

a(n)=a(n-1)+a(n-2)+a(n-3)+a(n-4)+a(n-5)+a(n-6), a(0)=6, a(1)=1, a(2)=3, a(3)=7, a(4)=15, a(5)=31. G.f.: (6-5x-4x^2-3x^3-2x^4-x^5)/(1-x-x^2-x^3-x^4-x^5-x^6)

For a(0)=6, a(1)=1, a(2)=3, a(3)=7, a(4)=15, a(5)=31, a(6)=63, a(n)=2*a(n-1)-a(n-7)[From Vincenzo Librandi, Dec 20 2010]
