Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..200

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (24,-176,384).

Formula

a(n) = (4^n)*Stirling2(n+3, 3), n >= 0, with Stirling2(n, m) = A008277(n, m).

a(n) = (4^n - 8*8^n + 9*12^n)/2.

G.f.: 1/((1-4*x)*(1-8*x)*(1-12*x)).

E.g.f.: (d^3/dx^3)((((exp(4*x)-1)/4)^3)/3!) = (exp(4*x) - 8*exp(8*x) + 9*exp(12*x))/2.

a(0)=1, a(1)=24, a(2)=400; for n > 2, a(n) = 24*a(n-1) - 176*a(n-2) + 384*a(n-3). - Vincenzo Librandi, Jul 03 2013

a(n) = 30*a(n-1) - 96*a(n-2) + 4^n. - Vincenzo Librandi, Jul 03 2013
