G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..5000
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3,-3,1).
FORMULA
a(n) = 17*n + a(n-1) - 9 for n>0, a(0)=0. - Vincenzo Librandi, Aug 04 2010
From Vincenzo Librandi, Mar 31 2015: (Start)
G.f.: x*(8 + 9*x)/(1 - x)^3.
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3) for n>2. (End)
a(n) = A022275(-n). - Bruno Berselli, Mar 31 2015
E.g.f.: (x/2)*(17*x + 16)*exp(x). - G. C. Greubel, Aug 23 2017
