Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (0,0,0,2,0,0,0,-1).
FORMULA
a(n) = a(n-4) + a(n-8) - a(n-12).
a(n) = 2*a(n-4) - a(n-8). - Colin Barker, Sep 19 2014
G.f.: x*(4*x^6 + 2*x^5 + x^4 + 8*x^3 + 4*x^2 + 2*x + 1) / ((x-1)^2*(x+1)^2*(x^2+1)^2). - Colin Barker, Sep 19 2014
a(n) = (11*n-3+(n+3)*(-1)^n+(4*n-1+(-1)^n)*cos(n*Pi/2)+2*(9-3*n+4(-1)^n)* sin(n*Pi/2))/8. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, May 07 2021
