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.

A071100 Expansion of (5 + 3*x + x^2 - x^3) / (1 - 2*x - 2*x^2 - 2*x^3 + x^4) in powers of x.

Formula

G.f.: (5 + 3*x + x^2 -x^3) / (1 - 2*x - 2*x^2 - 2*x^3 + x^4).
a(-n) = a(-5 + n). a(-1) = a(-2) = 1. a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) + 2*a(n-3) - a(n-4). - Michael Somos, Dec 15 2011
