G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (5,-5,1).

Formula

a(n) = A071954(n)/2 = A001353(n) + 1.

From G. C. Greubel, Feb 25 2019: (Start)

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

a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 5*a(n-2) + a(n-3).

a(n) = 1 - (-i)^(n+1)*F(n, 4*i), where i = sqrt(-1) and F(n,x) is the Fibonacci polynomial. (End)
