Mathematica

Join[{1, 2}, LinearRecurrence[{1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1}, {3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 12}, 80]] (* Vladimir Joseph Stephan Orlovsky, Feb 11 2012 *)

Formula

Recurrence: a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-6) for n >= 8.

O.g.f.: -(x^2+x+1)*(x^5+x^3+1)/(-1+x+x^6) = -x-1+(-2-x-x^3-x^4-2*x^5)/(-1+x+x^6). - R. J. Mathar, Dec 05 2007
