COMMENTS

Row T(5,n) of A080853

Let A be the Hessenberg matrix of order n, defined by: A[1,j]=1, A[i,i]:=5, (i>1), A[i,i-1]=-1, and A[i,j]=0 otherwise. Then, for n>=3, a(n-1)=coeff(charpoly(A,x),x^(n-2)). [From Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Jan 27 2010]

FORMULA

a(n)=(25n^2-15n+2)/2 G.f.: (1+3x+21x^2)/(1-x)^3

a(n)=25*n+a(n-1)-20 (with a(0)=1) [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Aug 08 2010]

EXAMPLE

a(1)=25*1+1-20=6; a(2)=25*2+6-20=36; a(3)=25*3+36-20=91 [From Vincenzo Librandi (vincenzo.librandi(AT)tin.it), Aug 08 2010]
