COMMENTS
Suppose s = (c(0), c(1), c(2), ...) is a sequence and p(S) is a polynomial. Let S(x) = c(0)*x + c(1)*x^2 + c(2)*x^3 + ... and T(x) = (-p(0) + 1/p(S(x)))/x. The p-INVERT of s is the sequence t(s) of coefficients in the Maclaurin series for T(x). Taking p(S) = 1 - S gives the "INVERT" transform of s, so that p-INVERT is a generalization of the "INVERT" transform (e.g., A033453).
See A290890 for a guide to related sequences.
FORMULA
G.f.: 5/(1 - 7 x + x^2).
a(n) = 7*a(n-1) - a(n-2).
a(n) = 5*A004187(n+1) for n >= 0.
EXAMPLE
(See the example at A290902.)
