Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..500

Index to sequences with linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3,6,-8).

FORMULA

a(n) = (4^n-2+(-2)^n)/18.

G.f.: x^2/((1-x)*(1+2*x)*(1-4*x)).

a(n) = +3*a(n-1) +6*a(n-2) -8*a(n-3).

E.g.f.: (exp(2*x)-exp(-x))^2/18 = (exp(4*x)-2*exp(x)+exp(-x))/18.

Binomial transform of 0, 0, 1, 0, 9, 0, 81, ... a(n)=A001045(n)*A078008(n)/2.

a(n) = floor(2^n/3)ceiling(2^n/3)/2 - Paul Barry, Apr 28 2004
