FORMULA
|
a(n) = 8*7^((n-1)/2)-2 (n odd), 2*7^(n/2)-2 (n even).
G.f.: 6*x*(x+1) / ((x-1)*(7*x^2-1)). - Colin Barker, Feb 15 2013
a(n) = a(n-1) + 7*a(n-2) - 7*a(n-3).
a(n) = (1/sqrt(7))*(-2*sqrt(7) + 7^((n+1)/2) + (-1)^n*7^((n+1)/2) + 4*7^(n/2) - 4*(-1)^n*7^(n/2)).
E.g.f.: (1/sqrt(7))*( (sqrt(7) - 4)*exp(-sqrt(7)*x) + (4 + sqrt(7))*exp(sqrt(7)*x) - 2*sqrt(7)*exp(x)). (End)
