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

Formula

a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-2) - a(n-3) + a(n-4) - a(n-5) - a(n-6) + a(n-7).

a(n) = (2*n^2-n+1+(n-1)*(-1)^n+(-1)^((2*n+1-(-1)^n)/4)-(-1)^((6*n+1-(-1)^n)/4))/8. - Luce ETIENNE, Dec 31 2015

G.f.: x^2*(1 + x + x^2 + x^4) / ((1 - x)^3*(1 + x)^2*(1 + x^2)). - Colin Barker, Dec 02 2017
