Comments

Third of a family after A000124 and A084684. Built from the second differences. The fourth sequence is 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 49, 91, ..., from periodic [1, 2, 4, 8].

Table of n, a(n) for n=0..42.

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (2, -1, 1, -2, 1).

Formula

Repeat the second differences of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, i.e., repeat [1, 2, 4].

a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-2) + a(n-3) - 2*a(n-4) + a(n-5).

a(n) = A069705(n) + 7*A130518(n).
