FORMULA

a(n) = 8*a(n-1)-9*a(n-2) for n>1; a(0)=0, a(1)=1. G.f.: x/(1-8*x+9*x^2). [From Philippe DELEHAM, Jan 06 2009]

a(n) = b such that 3^(n-1)/2*Integral_{x=0..Pi/2} (sin(n*x))/(4/3-cos(x)) dx = c+b*ln(2). [From Francesco Daddi, Aug 02 2011]

MATHEMATICA

Join[{a=1, b=8}, Table[c=8*b-9*a; a=b; b=c, {n, 60}]] (*From Vladimir Joseph Stephan Orlovsky, Jan 19 2011*)

PROG
