COMMENTS

The "amazing" identity of Ramanujan is a(n)^3 + b(n)^3 = c(n)^3 + (-1)^n, where a(n)=A051028(n), b(n)=A051029(n) and c(n)=A051030(n). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Oct 14 2006

FORMULA

G.f.: f(x)=(2-26x-12x^2)/(1-82x-82x^2+x^3).

X(n+1)=AX(n), where X(n)=transpose(A051028(n), A051029(n), A051030(n)) and A = matrix (3,3,[63,104,-68; 64,104,-67; 80,131,-85)]). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Oct 14 2006

MAPLE

g:=(2-26*x-12*x^2)/(1-82*x-82*x^2+x^3): gser:=series(g, x=0, 20): seq(coeff(gser, x, n), n=0..12); - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Oct 14 2006
