Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (5, 6, -11, -12, 4).

FORMULA

G.f.: (1-4x-6x^2+2x^3)/(1-5x-6x^2+11x^3+12x^4-4x^5). [Typo corrected by Jean-François Alcover, Dec 10 2018]

EXAMPLE

a(2)=5 because we can reach (2,2) in the following ways:

(0,0),(1,0),(1,1),(2,1),(2,2)

(0,0),(2,0),(2,2)

(0,0),(1,0),(2,0),(2,2)

(0,0),(2,0),(2,1),(2,2)

(0,0),(1,0),(2,0),(2,1),(2,2)
