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.

A163668 Number of reduced words of length n in Coxeter group on 39 generators S_i with relations (S_i)^2 = (S_i S_j)^5 = I.

The initial terms coincide with those of A170758, 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)/(703*t^5 - 37*t^4 - 37*t^3 - 37*t^2 - 37*t + 1).
a(n) = 37*a(n-1)+37*a(n-2)+37*a(n-3)+37*a(n-4)-703*a(n-5). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, May 11 2021
