Vec((5-12*x-9*x^2+8*x^3+x^4)/(1-3*x-3*x^2+4*x^3+x^4-x^5)+O(x^99)) \\ Charles R Greathouse IV, Sep 26 2012

Formula

G.f.: (5-12*x-9*x^2+8*x^3+x^4)/(1-3*x-3*x^2+4*x^3+x^4-x^5).

a(n)=3*a(n-1)+3*a(n-2)-4*a(n-3)-a(n-4)+a(n-5), {a(m)}={5,3,15,42,155}, m=0..4.

a(n)=Sum_{k=1..5} ((x_k)^4-3*(x_k)^2+1)^n; x_k=2*(-1)^(k-1)*cos(k*Pi/11).

Series expansion of g.f. at x=infinity gives -A189234(n+1).
