%N First differences of A328984.

%C This is a simplified version of A328196.

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_05">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (-1,0,0,1,1).

%F If n is a multiple of 4 then a(n) = 5*t+1 where t = n/4;

%F if n is 2 mod 4 then a(n) = 5*t+4 where t = (n-2)/4;

%F if n is 1 mod 4 then a(n) = -(5*t-2) where t = (n-1)/4;

%F if n i s 3 mod 4 then a(n) = -(5*t+2) where t = (n-3)/4.

%F From _Colin Barker_, Nov 07 2019: (Start)

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

%F a(n) = -a(n-1) + a(n-4) + a(n-5) for n>5.
