COMMENTS
The initial terms coincide with those of A170737, although the two sequences are eventually different.
Computed with Magma using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.
LINKS
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,-136).
FORMULA
G.f.: (t^16 + 2*t^15 + 2*t^14 + 2*t^13 + 2*t^12 + 2*t^11 + 2*t^10 + 2*t^9 + 2*t^8 + 2*t^7 + 2*t^6 + 2*t^5 + 2*t^4 + 2*t^3 + 2*t^2 + 2*t + 1)/( 136*t^16 - 16*t^15 - 16*t^14 - 16*t^13 - 16*t^12 - 16*t^11 - 16*t^10 - 16*t^9 - 16*t^8 - 16*t^7 - 16*t^6 - 16*t^5 - 16*t^4 - 16*t^3 - 16*t^2 - 16*t + 1).
From G. C. Greubel, Sep 10 2023: (Start)
G.f.: (1+t)*(1-t^16)/(1 - 17*t + 152*t^16 - 136*t^17).
a(n) = 16*Sum_{j=1..15} a(n-j) - 136*a(n-16). (End)
