Comments

The initial terms coincide with those of A170732, although the two sequences are eventually different.

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

Formula

G.f.: (t^16 + 2*t^15 + 2*t^14 + 2*t^13 + 2*t^12 + 2*t^11 + 2*t^10 + 2*t^9 + 2*t^8 + 2*t^7 + 2*t^6 + 2*t^5 + 2*t^4 + 2*t^3 + 2*t^2 + 2*t + 1)/( 66*t^16 - 11*t^15 - 11*t^14 - 11*t^13 - 11*t^12 - 11*t^11 - 11*t^10 - 11*t^9 - 11*t^8 - 11*t^7 - 11*t^6 - 11*t^5 - 11*t^4 - 11*t^3 - 11*t^2 - 11*t + 1).

From G. C. Greubel, Sep 13 2023: (Start)

G.f.: (1+t)*(1-t^16)/(1 - 12*t + 77*t^16 - 66*t^17).

a(n) = 11*Sum_{j=1..15} a(n-j) - 66*a(n-16). (End)
