Eric Weisstein's World of Mathematics, Integer sequence primes.
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (15,-70,120,-64).
FORMULA
From Colin Barker, Jan 10 2017: (Start)
a(n) = (3*2^n + 3*4^n + 8^n - 1).
a(n) = 15*a(n-1) - 70*a(n-2) + 120*a(n-3) - 64*a(n-4) for n>3.
G.f.: (6 - 65*x + 168*x^2 - 88*x^3) / ((1 - x)*(1 - 2*x)*(1 - 4*x)*(1 - 8*x)).
(End)
EXAMPLE
(2^1 + 1)^3 - 2 = 25.
