Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..200
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (21,-140,288).
FORMULA
a(n) = 4^(n+1)/5+9^(n+2)/5-2*8^(n+1). - R. J. Mathar, Nov 11 2012
a(0)=1, a(1)=21, a(2)=301; for n>2, a(n) = 21*a(n-1) -140*a(n-2) +288*a(n-3). - Vincenzo Librandi, Jul 03 2013
a(n) = 17*a(n-1) -72*a(n-2) +4^n. - Vincenzo Librandi, Jul 03 2013
