FORMULA

Periodic with period 18.

a(n)=(1/306)*{45*[n mod 18] + 45*[(n + 1) mod 18] + 28*[(n + 2) mod 18] + 45*[(n + 3) mod 18] + 45*[(n + 4) mod 18] + 28*[(n + 5) mod 18] + 11*[(n + 6) mod 18] + 11*[(n + 7) mod 18] - 6*[(n + 8) mod 18] - 23*[(n + 9) mod 18] - 23*[(n + 10) mod 18] - 6*[(n + 11) mod 18] - 23*[(n + 12) mod 18] - 23*[(n + 13) mod 18] - 6*[(n + 14) mod 18] + 11*[(n + 15) mod 18] + 11*[(n + 16) mod 18] + 28*[(n + 17) mod 18]}, with n>=0. - Paolo P.
