Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (10,1).
FORMULA
a(n) = (1/2/sqrt(26))((sqrt(26)+4)(5+sqrt(26))^n+(sqrt(26)-4)(5-sqrt(26))^n).
G.f.: (1-z)/(1-10z-z^2).
MAPLE
a:=n->(1/2/sqrt(26))*((sqrt(26)+4)*(5+sqrt(26))^n+(sqrt(26)-4)*(5-sqrt(26))^n): seq(expand(a(n)), n=0..20);
