Let S(x) = c(0)*x + c(1)*x^2 + c(2)*x^3 + ... and T(x) = (-p(0) + 1/p(S(x)))/x. The p-INVERT of s is the sequence t(s) of coefficients in the Maclaurin series for T(x). Taking p(S) = 1 - S gives the "INVERT" transform of s, so that p-INVERT is a generalization of the "INVERT" transform (e.g., A033453). %C A291038 See A291728 for a guide to related sequences. %H A291038 Clark Kimberling, <a href="/A291038/b291038.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000</a> %H A291038 <a href="/index/Rec#order_06">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (4, -4, 2, -4, 0, -1) %F A291038 G.f.: -((4 (-1 + x + x^3))/(-1 + 2 x + x^3)^2). %F A291038 a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 4*a(n-2) + 2*a(n-3) - 4*a(n-4) - a(n-6) for n >= 7. %t A291038 z = 60; s = x/(x - x^3); p = (1 - 2 s)^2; %t A291038 Drop[CoefficientList[Series[s, {x, 0, z}], x], 1] (* A079978 *) %t A291038 u = Drop[CoefficientList[Series[1/p, {x, 0, z}], x], 1] (* A291038 *) %t A291038 u/4 (* A291039 *) %Y A291038 Cf.
