Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..200
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (18,-83,138,-72).
FORMULA
a(0)=1, a(1)=18; for n>1, a(n)= 15*a(n-1) -36*a(n-2) + 2^n - 1. - Vincenzo Librandi, Jul 05 2013
a(0)=1, a(1)=18, a(2)=241, a(3)=2982; for n>3, a(n) = 18*a(n-1) -83*a(n-2) +138*a(n-3) -72*a(n-4). - Vincenzo Librandi, Jul 05 2013
a(n) = (12^(n+3) - 55*3^(n+3) + 99*2^(n+3) - 45)/990. [Yahia Kahloune, Jul 07 2013]
