Index to sequences with linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3,0,1).

FORMULA

G.f.: -1/(-1+3*x+x^3)

Recurrence: {a(0)=1, a(1)=3, a(n)+3*a(n+2)-a(n+3)=0, a(2)=9}

Sum(1/15*(4+_alpha+2*_alpha^2)*_alpha^(-1-n), _alpha=RootOf(-1+3*_Z+_Z^3))

a(n)=sum{k=0..floor(n/3), binomial(n-2k, k)3^(n-3k)}. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Oct 20 2004

MAPLE

spec := [S, {S=Sequence(Union(Z, Z, Z, Prod(Z, Z, Z)))}, unlabeled]: seq(combstruct[count](spec, size=n), n=0..20);
