COMMENTS

For n >=2, a(n) equals the permanent of the (n-1)X(n-1) tridiagonal matrix with 18's along the main diagonal, and 1's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal. [From John M. Campbell, Jul 08 2011]

FORMULA

a(n)=F(n, 18), the n-th Fibonacci polynomial evaluated at x=18. - T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Jan 19 2006

a(n)=18*a(n-1)+a(n-2), n>1 ; a(0)=1, a(1)=18 . G.f.: 1/(1-18*x-x^2). [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 21 2008]

MATHEMATICA

a=0; lst={}; s=0; Do[a=s-(a-1); AppendTo[lst, a]; s+=a*18, {n, 3*4!}]; lst [From Vladimir Orlovsky (4vladimir(AT)gmail.com), Oct 27 2009]
