Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3,-3,1).
FORMULA
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3).
G.f.: -(1 + 46*x + 49*x^2)/(x-1)^3.
a(n) = 48*A000290(n) + 1. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Dec 06 2013
From Amiram Eldar, Mar 19 2023: (Start)
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = (coth(Pi/(4*sqrt(3)))*Pi/(4*sqrt(3)) + 1)/2.
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = (cosech(Pi/(4*sqrt(3)))*Pi/(4*sqrt(3)) + 1)/2. (End)
