Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (1,3,-1).
FORMULA
G.f.: -(-1+x)/(1-x-3*x^2+x^3)
Recurrence: {a(1)=0, a(0)=1, a(2)=3, a(n)-3*a(n+1)-a(n+2)+a(n+3)=0}
Sum(-1/74*(1-34*_alpha+9*_alpha^2)*_alpha^(-1-n), _alpha=RootOf(1-_Z-3*_Z^2+_Z^3))
MAPLE
spec := [S, {S=Sequence(Prod(Union(Prod(Union(Z, Z), Sequence(Z)), Z), Z))}, unlabeled ]: seq(combstruct[count ](spec, size=n), n=0..20);
