Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (5,-4,1,-5,4).

Formula

a(n) = round((8*4^n - 14*n - 13)/42).

a(n) = floor((8*4^n - 14*n - 8)/42).

a(n) = ceiling((8*4^n - 14*n - 18)/42).

a(n) = round((8*4^n - 14*n - 8)/42).

a(n) = a(n-3) + 3*4^(n-2) - 1, n > 3.

a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 4*a(n-2) + a(n-3) - 5*a(n-4) + 4*a(n-5), n > 5.

G.f.: x^2*(2+x)/ ( (1-4*x)*(1+x+x^2)*(1-x)^2 ).

Example

a(4) = 0 + 2 + 9 + 36 = 47.
