Reinhard Zumkeller, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (-4,6).

Formula

G.f.: (1 - 2*x)/(1 + 4*x - 6*x^2).

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A147703(n,k)*(-7)^k.

a(n) = (1/2)*((-2 - sqrt(10))^n + (-2 + sqrt(10))^n) + (1/5)*sqrt(10)*((-2 - sqrt(10))^n - (-2 + sqrt(10))^n). - Bruno Berselli, Jan 12 2012
