G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (8,-7).
FORMULA
From G. C. Greubel, Oct 12 2022: (Start)
a(n) = (4/3)*(7^(n+1) - 1).
a(n) = 8*A023000(n+1).
a(n) = 8*a(n-1) - 7*a(n-2).
G.f.: 8/((1-x)*(1-7*x)).
E.g.f.: (4/3)*(7*exp(7*x) - exp(x)). (End)
MATHEMATICA
