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.

A217787 a(n) = (a(n-1)*a(n-3) + 1) / a(n-4) with a(0) = a(1) = a(2) = a(3) = 1.

Formula

G.f.: (1 + x + x^2 - 4*x^3 - 3*x^4 - 2*x^5) / (1 - 5*x^3 + x^6).
a(n) = a(3-n) for all n in Z.
a(n+3) + a(n-3) = 5*a(n) for all n in Z.
a(n+1) + a(n-1) = a(n) * (2 + [n mod 3 == 0]) for all n in Z.
a(n+3k)+a(n-3k) = A003501(k)*a(n) for n>=3k. - Bruno Berselli, Mar 25 2013
