Comments

The initial terms coincide with those of A170742, although the two sequences are eventually different.

Computed with MAGMA using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.

Formula

G.f.: (t^5 + 2*t^4 + 2*t^3 + 2*t^2 + 2*t + 1)/(231*t^5 - 21*t^4 - 21*t^3 - 21*t^2 - 21*t + 1).

a(n) = 21*a(n-1)+21*a(n-2)+21*a(n-3)+21*a(n-4)-231*a(n-5). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, May 10 2021
