Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (0, 0, 6, 0, 0, 1).

Formula

G.f.: G(x) = (1 + x + 2*x^2 - x^3 + x^4)/(1 - 6*x^3 - x^6), For the derivation see A295333, but here the input of the recurrence is a(0) = 1, a(-1) = 0 (a(-2) = a(0) = 1). This leads here to G_0 = 1+ 2*x*G_2 + x*G_1, G_1 = G_0 + x*G_2, G_2 = G_1 + G_0 and the solution gives G(x).

a(n) = 6*a(n-3) + a(n-6), n >= 6, with inputs a(0)..a(5).

Example

For the first convergents see A295333.
