FORMULA

a(n+1) = 4*a(n) + 11*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-3).

G.f.: x*(1+3*x)/((2*x+1)* (1-6*x+x^2)).

a(n)=-(29/68)*sqrt(2)*[3-2*sqrt(2)]^(n-1)+(19/34)*[3+2*sqrt(2)]^(n-1)+(29/ 68)*[3+2*sqrt(2)]^(n-1) *sqrt(2)+(19/34)*[3-2*sqrt(2)]^(n-1)-(2/17)*(-2)^(n-1), - Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Jul 09 2008

EXAMPLE

M^2 * [0,0,1] = [3, 7, 13], so the middle term in the last row is 7 = a(2).

CROSSREFS
