FORMULA

a(n)=first entry of v[n], where v[n]=Mv[n-1], M is the 2 X 2 matrix [[0, -1], [1, 4]] and v[0] is the column vector [0,1]. G.f.=-x/(1-4x+x^2). a(n)=4a(n-1)-a(n-2); a(0)=0, a(1)=-1.

a(n)=(1/6)*sqrt(3)*[2-sqrt(3)]^n-(1/6)*sqrt(3)*[2+sqrt(3)]^n, with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Oct 06 2008]

MAPLE

a[0]:=0: a[1]:=-1: for n from 2 to 27 do a[n]:=4*a[n-1]-a[n-2] od: seq(a[n], n=0..27);

MATHEMATICA

M = {{0, -1}, {1, 4}} v[1] = {0, 1} v[n_] := v[n] = M.v[n - 1] a = Table[Abs[v[n][[1]]], {n, 1, 50}]
