Harvey P. Dale, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000
FORMULA
From R. J. Mathar, Apr 20 2008: (Start)
G.f.: -(-1-x-x^2-x^3-x^4-x^5-10*x^6+2*x^13)/((x-1)^2*(x^6+x^5+x^4+x^3+x^2+x+1)^2).
a(n) = 2*a(n-7) - a(n-14).
(End)
a(n) = -(1/7)*mod(n,7)*x(7+mod(n,7))+(1/7)*mod(n,7)*x(mod(n,7))+x(mod(n,7))-(1/7)*n *x(mod(n,7))+(1/7)*n*x(7+mod(n,7)). - Alexander R. Povolotsky, Apr 20 2008
