Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (5,7,1).

Formula

a(n) = 5*a(n-1) + 7*a(n-2) + a(n-3).

G.f.: (7 - 34*x - 11*x^2) / ((1 + x)*(1 - 6*x - x^2)). - Colin Barker, Apr 18 2012

From Colin Barker, Nov 24 2017: (Start)

a(n) = (3 - sqrt(10))^n + (3 + sqrt(10))^n + 5 for n even.

a(n) = (3 - sqrt(10))^n + (3 + sqrt(10))^n - 5 for n odd.

(End)
