Comments

Number of permutations satisfying -k <= p(i) - i <= r and p(i) - i not in I, i = 1..n, with k = 2, r = 3, I = {-1, 0, 1, 2}.

a(n) = 1 if n = 5k, a(n) = 0 otherwise. Also, number of permutations satisfying -k <= p(i) - i <= r and p(i) - i not in I, i = 1..n, with k = 1, r = 4, I = {0, 1, 2, 3}.

a(n) is also the number of partitions of n with each part being five (a(0) = 1 because the empty partition has no parts to test equality with five). Hence a(n) is also the number of 2-regular graphs on n vertices with each component having girth exactly five. - Jason Kimberley, Oct 02 2011

This sequence is the Euler transformation of A185015. - Jason Kimberley, Oct 02 2011

Index entries for characteristic functions

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

Formula

Recurrence: a(n) = a(n-5). G.f.: -1/(x^5 - 1).

a(n) = 1 - A011558(n); a(A008587(n)) = 1; a(A047201(n)) = 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Nov 30 2009

a(n) = floor(1/2*cos(2*n*Pi/5) + 1/2). - Gary Detlefs, May 16 2011

a(n) = floor(n/5) - floor((n-1)/5). - Tani Akinari, Oct 21 2012

a(n) = binomial(n - 1, 4) mod 5. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Oct 06 2014
