Colin Barker, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (0,0,0,0,0,1).
FORMULA
a(n) = n mod (2 + n mod 2). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Aug 16 2014
a(n) = a(n-6) for n>5. G.f.: x*(1+2*x^4) / ((1-x)*(1+x)*(1-x+x^2)*(1+x+x^2)). - Colin Barker, Mar 22 2016
a(n) = ( 6*sin(n*Pi/3) - sqrt(3) )*( sin(n*Pi/3) + sin(2*n*Pi/3) )/6. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jun 23 2016
