%N 1/a(n) is the current through the resistor at the central rung of an electrical ladder network made of 6*n+1 one-ohm resistors, fed by 1 volt at diametrically opposite ends of the ladder.

%F a(n) = 8*a(n-1) - 18*a(n-2) + 8*a(n-3) - a(n-4); a(0)=1, a(1)=7, a(2)=45, a(3)=239.

%F G.f.: (3*x^3 - 7*x^2 + x - 1)/(x^2 - 4*x + 1)^2. - _Joerg Arndt_, Jun 11 2021
