FORMULA

G.f.: (t^16 + 2*t^15 + 2*t^14 + 2*t^13 + 2*t^12 + 2*t^11 + 2*t^10 + 2*t^9 + 2*t^8 + 2*t^7 + 2*t^6 + 2*t^5 + 2*t^4 + 2*t^3 + 2*t^2 + 2*t + 1)/( 990*t^16 - 44*t^15 - 44*t^14 - 44*t^13 - 44*t^12 - 44*t^11 - 44*t^10 - 44*t^9 - 44*t^8 - 44*t^7 - 44*t^6 - 44*t^5 - 44*t^4 - 44*t^3 - 44*t^2 - 44*t + 1).

From G. C. Greubel, Jan 17 2023: (Start)

a(n) = Sum_{j=1..15} a(n-j) - 990*a(n-16).

G.f.: (1+x)*(1-x^16)/(1 - 45*x + 1034*x^16 - 990*x^17). (End)
