Comments

The initial terms coincide with those of A170738, although the two sequences are eventually different.

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

G.f.: (t^6 + 2*t^5 + 2*t^4 + 2*t^3 + 2*t^2 + 2*t + 1)/(153*t^6 - 17*t^5 - 17*t^4 - 17*t^3 - 17*t^2 - 17*t + 1).

a(n) = -153*a(n-6) + 17*Sum_{k=1..5} a(n-k). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, May 11 2021
