%F From _Brian Kell_, Oct 20 2008: (Start)

%F a(n) = z * M^(n-1) * w,

%F where

%F z is the 1 x 6 row vector [ 1 ... 1 ],

%F M is the 6 x 6 matrix

%F [[ 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5 ],

%F [ 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6 ],

%F [ 1, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0 ],

%F [ 3, 5, 5, 4, 6, 6 ],

%F [ 2, 1, 4, 1, 2, 0 ],

%F [ 2, 5, 2, 5, 6, 8 ]],

%F and w is the 6 x 1 column vector

%F [[ 1 ],

%F [ 1 ],

%F [ 0 ],

%F [ 1 ],

%F [ 0 ],

%F [ 1 ]] (End)

%F G.f.: 2*x*(x-2)*(x^3-6*x^2+4*x-1) / (4*x^5-6*x^4-91*x^3+75*x^2-23*x+1). - _Colin Barker_, May 14 2013
