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

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (11, -45, 95, -115, 81, -31, 5).

Formula

G.f.: (-6*x^6 - 123*x^5 - 319*x^4 - 44*x^3 + 6*x^2 + 7*x - 1)/((x - 1)^6*(5*x - 1)). - Harvey P. Dale, Oct 15 2014

a(0)=1, a(1)=4, a(2)=-7, a(3)=-118, a(4)=-399, a(5)=0, a(6)=7849, a(n) = 11*a(n-1) - 45*a(n-2) + 95*a(n-3) - 115*a(n-4) + 81*a(n-5) - 31*a(n-6) + 5*a(n-7). - Harvey P. Dale, Oct 15 2014
