COMMENTS

Row sums of Riordan array (1,x(1-6x)).

For positive n, a(n) equals the determinant of the n X n tridiagonal matrix with 1's along the main diagonal, 3's along the superdiagonal, and 2's along the subdiagonal (see Mathematica code below) [From John M. Campbell, Jul 08 2011].

FORMULA

a(n)=Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}A109466(n,k)*6^(n-k).

a(n)=a(n-1)-6*a(n-2); a(0)=1, a(1)=1. [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Oct 25 2008]

a(n)=(1/46)*I*[(1/2)-(1/2)*I*sqrt(23)]^n*sqrt(23)+(1/2)*[(1/2)-(1/2)*I*sqrt(23)]^n-(1/46)*I *[(1/2)+(1/2)*I*sqrt(23)]^n*sqrt(23)+(1/2)*[(1/2)+(1/2)*I*sqrt(23)]^n, with n>=0 and I=sqrt(-1) [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Nov 18 2008]

MATHEMATICA

Join[{a=1, b=1}, Table[c=b-6*a; a=b; b=c, {n, 80}]] (*From Vladimir Joseph Stephan Orlovsky, Jan 22 2011*)

Table[Det[Array[KroneckerDelta[#1, #2] + KroneckerDelta[#1, #2 + 1]*2 + KroneckerDelta[#1, #2 - 1]*3 &, {n, n}]], {n, 1, 40}] (* From John M. Campbell, Jul 08 2011 *)
