Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3,-3,1).
FORMULA
G.f.: -18*(1 + 16*x + 19*x^2)/(x-1)^3.
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3).
From Amiram Eldar, Mar 14 2023: (Start)
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = (coth(Pi/(3*sqrt(2)))*Pi/(3*sqrt(2)) + 1)/36.
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = (cosech(Pi/(3*sqrt(2)))*Pi/(3*sqrt(2)) + 1)/36. (End)
