FORMULA

G.f.: x*(1+2*x)/((1-8*x)*(2*x^2-7*x+1)). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Jul 02 2003

Recurrence: a(n)=15*a(n-1)-58*a(n-2)+16*a(n-3), where a(1)=1, a(2)=17, a(3)=197; formula a(n)=8^n+1/sqrt(41)*4^(n+1)*((7+sqrt(41))^(-(n+1))-(7-sqrt(41))^(-(n+1))) - Maksym Voznyy (voznyy(AT)mail.ru), Jul 25 2008
