Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (0,0,6,0,0,-1).

Formula

a(n) = 6*a(n-3)-a(n-6) for n > 6; a(1)=229, a(2)=281, a(3)=365, a(4)=1009, a(5)=1405, a(6)=1961.

G.f.: x*(1-x)*(229+510*x+875*x^2+510*x^3+229*x^4) / (1-6*x^3+x^6).

a(3*k-1) = 281*A001653(k) for k >= 1.

Limit_{n -> oo} a(n)/a(n-3) = 3+2*sqrt(2).

Limit_{n -> oo} a(n)/a(n-1) = (297+68*sqrt(2))/281 for n mod 3 = {0, 2}.

Limit_{n -> oo} a(n)/a(n-1) = (130803+73738*sqrt(2))/281^2 for n mod 3 = 1.

Example

(-60, a(1)) = (-60, 229) is a solution: (-60)^2+(-60+281)^2 = 3600+48841 = 52441 = 229^2.
(A129626(1), a(2)) = (0, 281) is a solution: 0^2+(0+281)^2 = 78961 = 281^2.
(A129626(3), a(4)) = (559, 1009) is a solution: 559^2+(559+281)^2 = 312481+705600 = 1018081 = 1009^2.
