Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (0,3,0,-1).

Formula

a(n) = 3*a(n-2)-a(n-4).

G.f.: -x*(x-1)*(4*x^2+9*x+4) / ((x^2-x-1)*(x^2+x-1)).

a(n) = (1/2) * (F(n+4) + (-1)^n*F(n-5)), n>4, with F the Fibonacci numbers (A000045). - Ralf Stephan, Feb 05 2014

Example

11 is in the sequence because (x, y) = (11, 28) is a solution to x^2 - 3xy + y^2 + 19 = 0.
