Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3,-2,-2,3,-1).
FORMULA
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-2) - 2*a(n-3) + 3*a(n-4) - a(n-5) for n>5.
From Colin Barker, Dec 05 2017: (Start)
G.f.: x*(3 + 17*x + 22*x^2 + 5*x^3 + x^4) / ((1 - x)^4*(1 + x)).
a(n) = (8*n^3 - 4*n^2 + 3*n - 2) / 2 for n>0 and even.
a(n) = (16*n^3 - 8*n^2 + 6*n - 2) / 4 for n odd.
