COMMENT
|
Note that for n >=1 there is a pattern that keeps steadily alternating between 4 terms and 6 terms for the each two consecutive groups. The terms value remains the same within each 4-term or 6-term group, while during the switch from the 4-group to the 6-group and then back from the 6-group to the 4-group, etc., the term value is getting bumped by 1.
Comment from R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jan 16, 2008. Assuming this obeys the recurrence a(n)=a(n-10)+2, this has generating function G(x) = x^4*(1+x^4)/[(-1+x)^2*(x+1)*(x^4+x^3+x^2+x+1)*(x^4-x^3+x^2-x+1)] = (1-3x^2-3x^3)/[10(x^4+x^3+x^2+x+1)]+1/[10(x+1)]+1/[5(-1+x)^2] +(-1+2x-3x^2-x^3)/[10(x^4-x^3+x^2-x+1)]+3/[10(-1+x)]. The first term can be rewritten as a linear superposition of A104384(n), A104384(n+2), A103483(n+3); the second, ~1/(x+1), with the alternating A033999, the third component ~1/(x-1)^2 with a(n)=n+1, the next ~1/(x^4-x^3+x^2-x+1) = A014019 and the last is proportional to 1/(1-x) = A000012. So a(n) is a sum of these sequences.
