Comments

Suppose s = (c(0), c(1), c(2), ...) is a sequence and p(S) is a polynomial. Let S(x) = c(0)*x + c(1)*x^2 + c(2)*x^3 + ... and T(x) = (-p(0) + 1/p(S(x)))/x. The p-INVERT of s is the sequence t(s) of coefficients in the Maclaurin series for T(x). Taking p(S) = 1 - S gives the "INVERT" transform of s, so that p-INVERT is a generalization of the "INVERT" transform (e.g., A033453).

See A291219 for a guide to related sequences.

Formula

G.f.: -((x^2 (-2 + 6 x^2 + x^3 - 6 x^4 + 2 x^6))/((-1 + x + x^2)^2 (1 + x - x^2 - x^3 + x^4)^2)).

a(n) = 6*a(n-2) + 2*a(n-3) - 15*a(n-4) - 6*a(n-5) + 19*a(n-6) + 6*a(n-7) - 15*a(n-8) - 2*a(n-9) + 6*a(n-10) - a(n-12) for n >= 13.
