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

Index to sequences with linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (8,-8,1). [From R. J. Mathar, Sep 03 2010]

FORMULA

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

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]

G.f.: -15*x/(x-1)/(x^2-7*x+1). a(n) = 15*A092521(n) = 5*A058038(n). [From R. J. Mathar, Sep 03 2010]

MAPLE
