PARI

Formula

G.f.: (x^2+x+1)*(x^4+3*x^3+3*x+1)*(x+1) / ((x^4+x^3+x^2+x+1)*(1-x)^3). (This is the product of the g.f.'s for A250120 and A040000. - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 10 2018)

a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-2) + a(n-5) - 2*a(n-6) + a(n-7) for n>7. - Colin Barker, Feb 07 2018

a(n) = 2*((sqrt(5) - 5)*(5 + 12*n^2) - (sqrt(5) - 1)*cos(2*n*Pi/5) + (sqrt(5) - 1)*cos(4*n*Pi/5))/(5*(sqrt(5) - 5)) for n > 0. - Stefano Spezia, Jun 06 2024
