Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (2,0,-2,1).
FORMULA
a(n) = 13*n^2/4+9*((-1)^n-1)/8.
From R. J. Mathar, Sep 28 2011: (Start)
G.f.: -x*(1+11*x+x^2) / ( (1+x)*(x-1)^3 ).
a(n)+a(n+1) = A069126(n+1). (End)
a(n) = 2*a(n-1)-2*a(n-3)+a(n-4) for n>3. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Nov 22 2015
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = Pi^2/78 + tan(3*Pi/(2*sqrt(13)))*Pi/(3*sqrt(13)). - Amiram Eldar, Jan 16 2023
