Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..206

Index to sequences with linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (4,-8,8,-4).

FORMULA

A007318 * [1, 2, -3, -4, 5, 6, -7, -8, 9, 10,...]; i.e. (+) signs when n == 1 or 2 MOD 4; (-) otherwise.

a(1+4*n) + a(2+4*n) + a(3+4*n) + a(4+4*n) = 0. - Paul Curtz, Apr 22 2011

a(n) = +4*a(n-1) -8*a(n-2) +8*a(n-3) -4*a(n-4) [Joerg Arndt, Apr 25 2011]

G.f. x*(x-1)*(2*x^2-1) / ( (1-2*x+2*x^2)^2 ). - R. J. Mathar, Jun 02 2011

EXAMPLE

a(4) = -6 = (1, 3, 3, 1) dot (1, 2, -3, -4) = (1 + 6 - 9 - 4).

PROG
