Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (1,0,6,-6,0,-1,1).

Formula

a(n) =6a(n-3)-a(n-6)-14 =(A076293(n)+7)/2 =sqrt(A076294(n)^2-A076296(n)^2) =A076296(n)+7.

a(3n+1) = 7*A046090(n).

a(0)=4, a(1)=7, a(2)=12, a(3)=15, a(4)=28, a(5)=55, a(6)=72, a(n)= a(n-1)+ 6*a(n-3)-6*a(n-4)-a(n-6)+a (n-7). - Harvey P. Dale, Feb 02 2012

G.f.: -(3*x^6-3*x^5-5*x^4-21*x^3+5*x^2+3*x+4) / ((x-1)*(x^6-6*x^3+1)). - Colin Barker, Sep 14 2014

Example

15 is in the sequence as the longer leg of the (8,15,17) triangle.
