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

Formula

G.f.: (-2*x^14 + 3*x^12 + 3*x^11 + 6*x^10 + 6*x^9 + 9*x^8 + 9*x^7 + 9*x^6 + 9*x^5 + 7*x^4 + 6*x^3 + 4*x^2 + 3*x + 1)/(x^12 - x^8 - 3*x^6 - x^4 +1).

a(n) = a(n-4) + 3*a(n-6) + a(n-8) - a(n-12) for n>12. - Colin Barker, Feb 06 2018
