Comments

In the Julian calendar, a year is a leap year if and only if it is a multiple of 4 and all century years are leap years.

Assuming this fact, this sequence is periodic with a period of 28.

This is the complement of A231000.

Formula

From Chai Wah Wu, Jun 04 2024: (Start)

a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-21) - a(n-22) for n > 22.

G.f.: x*(x^21 + x^20 + x^19 + x^18 + 3*x^17 + x^16 + x^15 + x^14 + 2*x^13 + x^12 + x^11 + x^10 + x^9 + 2*x^8 + x^7 + x^6 + x^5 + 3*x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x + 1)/(x^22 - x^21 - x + 1). (End)
