Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3,-4,4,-3,1).

FORMULA

a(n) = (3*n^2 - 3*n + cos(n*Pi/2) + sin(n*Pi/2) - 1)/2.

a(n) = A268428(n) - 149.

a(n) = (1/4+i/4)*((i-1)+(-i)^n-i*i^n-(-3*i+3)*n+(-3*i+3)*n^2), where i is the imaginary unit.

a(n) = (3*n^2 - 3*n + (-1)^binomial(n+1,2) - 1)/2.

G.f.: (2*(x^3 + x^2 + x)/((1 - x)^3*(x^2 + 1))).
