Index entries for sequences related to cellular automata

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (1,3,-3,-3,3,1,-1).

Formula

a(2n) = 46n^3 - 57n^2 + 57n - 19 for n>=1, a(2n+1) = 46n^3 - 51n^2 + 57n - 17 for n>=1. [From Nathaniel Johnston, Nov 06 2010]

G.f.: x*(18*x^3+x^2+26*x+1)*(x^4+4*x^2+1) / ((x-1)^4*(x+1)^3). - Colin Barker, Feb 28 2013
