FORMULA
a(n) = term (1,1) in the 3 X 3 matrix [17,1,0; -87,0,1; 135,0,0]^n. - Alois P. Heinz, Aug 04 2008
a(n) = 17*a(n-1) - 87*a(n-2) + 135*a(n-3); a(0)=1, a(1)=17, a(2)=202. - Vincenzo Librandi, Jul 01 2013
a(n) = 14*a(n-1) - 45*a(n-2) + 3^n. - Vincenzo Librandi, Jul 01 2013
a(n) = (9^(n+2) - 3*5^(n+2) + 2*3^(n+2))/24. - Yahia Kahloune, Aug 13 2013
