FORMULA

Conjecture: a(n)=3*a(n-1)-3*a(n-2)+a(n-3)+a(n-5)-3*a(n-6)+3*a(n-7)-a(n-8). O.g.f.: x^2/((x^4+x^3+x^2+x+1)(x-1)^4). - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jul 15 2008

Conjecture: a(n)=(A000292(n+1)-n-2-(-1)^[(n-1)/5]*A099443(n+1))/5. - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jul 15 2008

a(n+2) = A144679(n) + A144679(n-1) + A144679(n-2) + A144679(n-3) + A144679(n-4) [Johannes W. Meijer, May 20 2011]
