Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (4,-5,1,4,-5,2).

Formula

a(n) = round((8*2^n - 18*n - 9)/36).

a(n) = floor((4*2^n - 9*n + 2)/18).

a(n) = ceiling((4*2^n - 9*n - 11)/18).

a(n) = round((4*2^n - 9*n - 4)/18).

a(n) = a(n-6) + 7*2^(n-5) - 3, n > 5.

a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 5*a(n-2) + a(n-3) + 4*a(n-4) - 5*a(n-5) + 2*a(n-6).

G.f.: x^4 / ( (1-2*x)*(1+x)*(1-x+x^2)*(1-x)^2 ).

Example

a(6) = 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 3 + 7 = 11.
