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.

A215695 a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 6*a(n-2) + a(n-3) with a(0)=1, a(1)=0, a(2)=-2.

Comments

The Berndt-type sequence number 10 for the argument 2Pi/7 defined by the first trigonometric relation from section "Formula". For additional informations and particularly connections with another sequences of trigonometric nature - see comments to A215512 (a(n) is equal to the sequence c(n) in these comments) and Witula-Slota's reference (Section 3).
The following summation formula hold true (see comments to A215512): Sum{k=3,..,n} a(k) = 5*a(n-1) - a(n-2) + 1, n=3,4,...

Examples

			We have a(8)=3*a(7)+3*a(5)-6*a(2) and a(9)=3*a(8)+3*a(6)-3*a(4)-a(1).

Formula

sqrt(7)*a(n) = s(1)*c(1)^(2*n) + s(2)*c(2)^(2*n) + s(4)*c(4)^(2*n), where c(j):=2*cos(2*Pi*j/7) and s(j):=2*sin(2*Pi*j/7).
G.f.: (1-5*x+4*x^2)/(1-5*x+6*x^2-x^3).
a(n) = A005021(n) - 5*A005021(n-1) + 4*A005021(n-2). - R. J. Mathar, Aug 22 2012
