Table of n, a(n) for n=0..19.

FORMULA

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

a(n)=A081067(n)+1. - R. J. Mathar, May 18 2007

G.f.: -3*(2-9*x+2*x^2)/(x-1)/(x^2-7*x+1) = -3/(x-1)+(-3*x+3)/(x^2-7*x+1). - R. J. Mathar, Nov 18 2007

a(n)=3+(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]
