Binomial transform of A084059.

FORMULA

a(n)=((3+sqrt(6))^n+(3-sqrt(6))^n)/2; G.f.: (1-3x)/(1-6x+3x^2); E.g.f. : exp(3x)cosh(sqrt(6)x).

a(n)=3^n*sum{k=0..floor(n/2), C(n, 2k)(2/3)^k}; - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Sep 10 2005

a(n)/a(n-1) tends to (3 + sqrt(6)) = 5.445489742... - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Mar 19 2008

a(n)=Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}A147720(n,k)*3^k. [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 15 2008]

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=if(n<0, 0, polsym(x^2-6*x+3, n)[1+n]/2)

sage: [lucas_number2(n, 6, 3)/2 for n in xrange(0, 27)] - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Jul 08 2008
