Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (5,-10,10,-5,1).

Formula

a(n) = 48*A002415(n) = 4*A047928(n).

G.f.: 48*x^2*(1+x)/(1-x)^5. - Colin Barker, Mar 22 2012

From Amiram Eldar, Jul 26 2022: (Start)

Sum_{n>=2} 1/a(n) = (21 - 2*Pi^2)/48.

Sum_{n>=2} (-1)^n/a(n) = (Pi^2 - 9)/48. (End)
