Bruno Berselli, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (5,-10,10,-5,1).

Formula

G.f.: x*(1 + 30*x + 45*x^2 + 5*x^3) / (1 - x)^5.

a(n) = A000326(A000326(n)) = A000332(3n+1).

From Amiram Eldar, Aug 25 2022: (Start)

Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 4 + 2*Pi/sqrt(3) - 6*log(3).

Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 32*log(2)/3 - 4*Pi/(3*sqrt(3)) - 4. (End)
