%N Kekulé numbers for certain benzenoids.

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_02">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (15,-25).

%F a(n) = 2*((sqrt(5) + 2)((15 + 5*sqrt(5))/2)^(n-1) + (sqrt(5) - 2)*((15 - 5*sqrt(5))/2)^(n-1))/sqrt(5).

%F From _Colin Barker_, Aug 30 2013: (Start)

%F a(n) = 15*a(n-1) - 25*a(n-2).

%F G.f.: -2*x*(5*x-2) / (25*x^2 - 15*x + 1). (End)

%p a:=2*((sqrt(5)+2)*((15+5*sqrt(5))/2)^(n-1)+(sqrt(5)-2)*((15-5*sqrt(5))/2)^(n-1))/sqrt(5): seq(expand(a(n)),n=1..20);
