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).

FORMULA

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

a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - 11*a(n-2) + 6*a(n-3) - a(n-4).

(a(n)) is the p-INVERT of (1,1,1,1,1...) using p(S) = (1 - S - S^2)^2.

a(n) = (((3-sqrt(5))/2)^n * (-3+sqrt(5)) * (-5+7*sqrt(5)-5*n) + 2^(-n) * (3+sqrt(5))^(n+1) * (5+7*sqrt(5)+5*n)) / 50. - Colin Barker, Aug 24 2017
