G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (-1,3).
FORMULA
a(n) = term (1,1) of X^n, where X = the 2 X 2 matrix [1,-1; -1,-2].
G.f.: x*(1+3*x)/(1+x-3*x^2). - Philippe Deléham, Dec 18 2011
a(n) = (-sqrt(3))^n*( Lucas(n, 1/sqrt(3)) - 5*Fibonacci(n, 1/sqrt(3))/sqrt(3) )/2. - G. C. Greubel, Dec 26 2019
E.g.f.: (1/13)*exp(-x/2)*(13*cosh(sqrt(13)*x/2) + 5*sqrt(13)*sinh(sqrt(13)*x/2)) - 1. - Stefano Spezia, Jan 02 2020
EXAMPLE
a(6) = 17 = (-1)*a(5) + 3*a(4) = (-1)*(-2) + 3*5.
a(4) = 5 = term (1,1) of X^5, where X^5 = [5,7; 7,26].
