COMMENTS

Reflected tetranacci numbers: a(n)=A000078(-n).

Let Q(n) = A000078, then a(n) = (-1)^(n+1)(Q(n)^3 - 2Q(n-1)Q(n)Q(n+1) + Q(n-2)Q(n+1)^2 + Q(n-1)^2Q(n+2) - Qn(-2)Q(n)Q(n+2))

derived from powers of the inverse of a generalized Fibonacci matrix

FORMULA

G.f.: x/(1+x+x^2+x^3-x^4).

a(n) = term (1,4) in the 4x4 matrix [1,1,0,0; 1,0,1,0; 1,0,0,1; 1,0,0,0]^(-n). - Alois P. Heinz (heinz(AT)hs-heilbronn.de), Jun 12 2008

MAPLE

a := n -> (Matrix([[1, 1, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1, 0], [1, 0, 0, 1], [1, 0, 0, 0]])^(-n))[1, 4]; seq ((a(n)), n=0..50); - Alois P. Heinz (heinz(AT)hs-heilbronn.de), Jun 12 2008

MATHEMATICA
