COMMENTS

A sequence derived from A076765, with a(n)/a(n-1) tending to 4 + sqrt(15).

a(n)/a(n-1) tends to C = 4 + sqrt(15) = 7.87298334...(C having the property that C + 1/C = 8). Eigenvalues of M (1, C, 1/C) are roots to x^3 - 9x^2 + 9x - 1.

This is the r=10 member of the r-family of sequences S_r(n), n>=1, defined in A092184 where more information can be found.

FORMULA

a(n+3) = 9*a(n+2) - 9*a(n+1) + 1; given a(1) = 1, a(2) = 10, a(3) = 81. Let M = the 3 X 3 symmetric matrix [1 1 1 / 1 2 3 / 1 3 6]; then M^n * [1 0 0] = [A095002(a) A095003(3) A095004(a)].

a(n)= (T(n, 4)-1)/3 with Chebyshev's polynomials of the first kind evaluated at x=4: T(n, 4)=A001091(n). a(0):=0. W. Lang (wolfdieter.lang_AT_physik_DOT_uni-karlsruhe_DOT_de), Oct 18 2004

G.f.: x*(1+x)/((1-x)*(1-8*x+x^2)) = x*(1+x)/(1-9*x+9*x^2-x^3).

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 640 = 568 + 72 = A076765(3) + A076765(2).

a(4) = 640 = 9*81 - 9*10 + 1.

a(4) = 640, rightmost term in M^4 * [1 0 0]: [145 352 640] = [A095002(4) A095003(4) A095004(4)].

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := (MatrixPower[{{1, 1, 1}, {1, 2, 3}, {1, 3, 6}}, n].{{1}, {0}, {0}})[[3, 1]]; Table[ a[n], {n, 20}]; (from Robert G. Wilson v May 29 2004)
