Colin Barker, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (2,0,-2,1).

Formula

a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-3) + a(n-4).

a(n) = 1 + 2*(n-1)^2 + floor((n-1)^2/2). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jun 14 2013

G.f.: x*(1 + x + 5*x^2 + 3*x^3) / ((1 - x)^3*(1 + x)). - Colin Barker, Jun 08 2020
