Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (8,-28,56,-70,56,-28,8,-1).
FORMULA
From R. J. Mathar, Feb 05 2010: (Start)
a(n) = 8*a(n-1) - 28*a(n-2) + 56*a(n-3) - 70*a(n-4) + 56*a(n-5) - 28*a(n-6) + 8*a(n-7) - a(n-8).
G.f.: 2*x*(1 + 64*x + 424*x^2 + 584*x^3 + 179*x^4 +8*x^5)/(x-1)^8. (End)
From Amiram Eldar, May 14 2022: (Start)
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 12 -5*Pi^2/3 - 2*Pi^4/45 + 6*zeta(3) + 2*zeta(5).
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 20*log(2) + 9*zeta(3)/2 + 15*zeta(5)/8 - 12 - Pi^2/2 - 7*Pi^4/180. (End)
