Formula

From Bruno Berselli, Jun 08 2018: (Start)

G.f.: x*(1 + 20*x + x^2)/((1 + x)^2*(1 - x)^3).

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

a(n) = (22*n*(n + 1) + 9*(2*n + 1)*(-1)^n - 9)/8. Therefore:

a(n) = n*(11*n + 20)/4, if n is even, or (n + 1)*(11*n - 9)/4 otherwise.

(2*n - 1)*a(n) + (2*n + 1)*a(n-1) - n*(11*n^2 - 10) = 0. (End)

Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = (11 + 10*Pi*cot(Pi/11))/100. - Amiram Eldar, Mar 01 2022
