Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (1,0,1,-1).
FORMULA
G.f.: x*(1+4*x+2*x^2+x^3)/((1-x)^2*(1+x+x^2)). [Colin Barker, May 14 2012]
a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-3) - a(n-4) for n>4. - Vincenzo Librandi, May 16 2012
From Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jun 10 2016: (Start)
a(n) = (24*n-9-4*sqrt(3)*sin(2*n*Pi/3))/9.
a(3k) = 8k-1, a(3k-1) = 8k-3, a(3k-2) = 8k-7. (End)
a(n) = 2*(n + floor((n+1)/3)) - 1. - Wolfdieter Lang, Sep 11 2021
