COMMENTS
This sequence is fundamental for the coefficient sequences for the nonnegative powers of rho(11) = 2*cos(Pi/n) (length ration (smallest diagonal)/side in the regular 11-gon (Hendecagon)) when written in the power basis of the degree 5 number field Q(rho(11)). See A187360 for the minimal polynomial of rho(11) which is C(11, x) = x^5 - x^4 - 4*x^3 + 3*x^2 + 3*x - 1. See A231182-5 for these coefficient sequences.
FORMULA
G.f.: 1/(1 - x - 4*x^2 + 3*x^3 + 3*x^4 - x^5).
a(n) = a(n-1) + 4*a(n-2) - 3*a(n-3) - 3*a(n-4) + a(n-5) for n>=0, with a(-5)=1, a(-4)=a(-3)=a(-2)=a(-1)=0.
