cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Formula

From Philippe Deléham, Jan 03 2009: (Start)
a(n) = 16*a(n-1) - 59*a(n-2) for n>1, with a(0)=0, a(1)=1.
G.f.: x/(1 - 16*x + 59*x^2). (End)
