Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (6,-8,-22,69,-8,-176,168,182,-364,0,364,-182,-168,176,8,-69,22,8,-6,1).

Formula

a(n) = (n^12 - 55*n^10 + 210*n^9 + 93*n^8 - 2220*n^7 + 6052*n^6 - 8040*n^5 + 4236*n^4 + 3240*n^3 - 5872*n^2 + 2400*n)/5760 + IF(MOD(n, 2) = 1, 2*n^6 - 18*n^5 + 53*n^4 - 64*n^3 + 33*n^2 - 12*n + 5)/128.

a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - 8*a(n-2) - 22*a(n-3) + 69*a(n-4) - 8*a(n-5) - 176*a(n-6) + 168*a(n-7) + 182*a(n-8) - 364*a(n-9) + 364*a(n-11) - 182*a(n-12) - 168*a(n-13) + 176*a(n-14) + 8*a(n-15) - 69*a(n-16) + 22*a(n-17) + 8*a(n-18) - 6*a(n-19) + *a(n-20).
