Index to sequences with linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (8,-8,1).

FORMULA

a(n) = 8a(n-1)-8a(n-2)+a(n-3).

a(n ) =-2+(3/2)*{[(7/2)-(3/2)*sqrt(5)]^n+[(7/2)+(3/2)*sqrt(5)]^n}+(1/2)*sqrt(5)*{[(7/2)+(3/2) *sqrt(5)]^n-[(7/2)-(3/2)*sqrt(5)]^n}, with n>=0. [From Paolo P. Lava, Dec 01 2008]

G.f.: -(1+8*x+x^2)/((x-1)*(x^2-7*x+1)). [Colin Barker, Jun 26 2012]
