COMMENTS

Also, let p=17, prime number, then a(n)=p*2^n-3; example, a(0)=17*1-3=14; a(1)= 17*2-3=31; a(2)=17*4-3=65;

FORMULA

a(n)=2*a(n-1)+3, a(1)=14

G.f. (14-11x)x/((1-x)(1-2x)). a(n)=17*2^(n-1)-3. [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Feb 09 2009]

EXAMPLE

For n=2, a(2)=2*14+3=31; n=3, a(3)=2*31+3=65:
