G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (2, -2, 1).
FORMULA
From R. J. Mathar, Dec 16 2009: (Start)
a(n)= 2*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-2) + a(n-3).
G.f.: (1+3*x+17*x^2)/((1-x)*(x^2-x+1)). (End)
a(n) = a(n-1) - a(n-2) + 21, n>=2. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 07 2015
a(n) = a(n-6). - G. C. Greubel, Mar 16 2016
