COMMENT

Middle line of 5-wave sequence A038201.

Let M denotes the 5 X 5 matrix = row by row (1,1,1,1,1)(1,1,1,1,0)(1,1,1,0,0)(1,1,0,0,0)(1,0,0,0,0) and A(n) the vector (x(n),y(n),z(n),t(n),u(n))=M^n*A where A is the vector (1,1,1,1,1) then a(n)=z(n) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Apr 02 2002

FORMULA

a(n)=3a(n-1)+3a(n-2)-4a(n-3)-a(n-4)+a(n-5). Also a(n)=b(4n+2) with b(n) as in 5-wave sequence A038201.

MATHEMATICA

b = {-1, 3, 3, -4, -1, 1}; p[x_] := Sum[x^(n - 1)*b[[7 - n]], {n, 1, 6}] q[x_] := ExpandAll[x^5*p[1/x]] Table[ SeriesCoefficient[ Series[x/q[x], {x, 0, 30}], n], {n, 0, 30}] - Roger Bagula and Gary Adamson (rlbagulatftn(AT)yahoo.com), Sep 19 2006
