Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (6, -11, 6, -1).
FORMULA
Conjecture: a(n)=6a(n-1)-11a(n-2)+6a(n-3)-a(n-4). G.f.: -4*x^2*(-2+3*x)/(x^2-3*x+1)^2. [From R. J. Mathar, Mar 18 2009]
EXAMPLE
If n=5 then the number of conjugated cycles composed of ten carbons in (n,n)-nanotubes is 420 which is the fifth term in the sequence. Here n is the number of naphthalene units.
