FORMULA

Define sequences a[n], b[n], c[n], d[n] by the recurrences shown in the Maple code below. Sequence gives values of a[n] and also (with a different offset) a[n]+b[n]+d[n].

MAPLE

M:=35; a:=array(-5..M); b:=array(-5..M); c:=array(-5..M); d:=array(-5..M);

for i from -5 to 0 do a[i]:=0; b[i]:=0; c[i]:=0; d[i]:=0; od: a[0]:=1;

for n from 1 to M do

a[n]:=a[n-1]+b[n-1]+d[n-1];

b[n]:=2*a[n-1]+b[n-1]+b[n-3]+c[n-2]+c[n-4];

c[n]:=2*a[n-1]+b[n-1]+b[n-2]+b[n-3]+c[n-3]+c[n-4];

d[n]:=b[n-1]+b[n-2]+c[n-1]+c[n-2]+c[n-3]; od:

CROSSREFS

For sequences b[n], c[n], d[n] and a[n]+b[n]+c[n]+d[n] see A126946, A126947, A126948, A126945 respectively.

Sequence in context: A027060 A171498 A126939 * A026125 A026154 A025181

Adjacent sequences:  A126937 A126938 A126939 * A126941 A126942 A126943
