Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3,-2,0,0,0,0,-1,1).

Formula

G.f.: (1-x+x^7)/(1-3*x+2*x^2+x^7-x^8).

Example

a(8) = 255 = 2^8-1, because 10000001 is the only binary word of length 8 with not less than 6 0-digits between any pair of consecutive 1-digits.

Maple

a:= n-> (Matrix([[2, 1$7]]). Matrix(8, (i, j)-> if i=j-1 then 1 elif j=1 then [3, -2, 0$4, -1, 1][i] else 0 fi)^n)[1, 2]: seq(a(n), n=0..35);
