Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (0,4,2,2,4).

Formula

a(n) = 4*a(n-2) + 2*a(n-3) + 2*a(n-4) + 4*a(n-5), with a(0)=1, a(1)=1, a(2)=4, a(3)=6, and a(4)=20.

G.f.: (1+x)/(1-4*x^2-2*x^3-2*x^4-4*x^5).

Asymptotic formula: a(n) ~ 0.581189405182598 * 2.3498153157195^n.
