Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (2,0,0,0,-1).

Formula

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

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/5)} C(n-4*k, k) * 2^(n-2*k) *(-1)^k.

a(n) = A018922(n-3) for n >= 3. - R. J. Mathar, Mar 09 2007

First difference of A119407. - Michael Somos, Dec 28 2012

From Petros Hadjicostas, Jun 12 2019: (Start)

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

Setting k = 1 in the double recurrence for array A140996, we get that a(n+5) = 1 + a(n+1) + a(n+2) + a(n+3) + a(n+4) for n >= 0, which of course we can prove using other methods as well. See also Dunkel (1925).

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n+3} A000078(k). - Greg Dresden, Jan 01 2021

Example

G.f. = 1 + 2*x + 4*x^2 + 8*x^3 + 16*x^4 + 31*x^5 + 60*x^6 + 116*x^7 + 224*x^8 + ...
