Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000

Index to sequences with linear recurrences with constant coefficents, signature (3,6,-8). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Dec 12 2009]

FORMULA

a(n)=3a(n-1)+6a(n-2)-8a(n-3).

a(n)=1/9-(2/9)*(-2)^n+(1/9)*4^n, with n>=0 - Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Jun 12 2008

a(n) = (A001045(n))^2. G.f.: x*(1-2*x)/((1-x)*(1+2*x)*(1-4*x)). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Dec 12 2009]
