Comments

The initial terms coincide with those of A170733, 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)/( 78*t^16 - 12*t^15 - 12*t^14 - 12*t^13 - 12*t^12 - 12*t^11 - 12*t^10 - 12*t^9 - 12*t^8 - 12*t^7 - 12*t^6 - 12*t^5 - 12*t^4 - 12*t^3 - 12*t^2 - 12*t + 1).

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

G.f.: (1+t)*(1-t^16)/(1 - 13*t + 90*t^16 - 78*t^17).

a(n) = 12*Sum_{j=1..15} a(n-j) - 78*a(n-16). (End)
