Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..149
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (8,-8).
FORMULA
a(n) = 8*a(n-1) - 8*a(n-2) for n > 1; a(0) = 1, a(1) = 10.
a(n) = ((2+3*sqrt(2))*(4+2*sqrt(2))^n + (2-3*sqrt(2))*(4-2*sqrt(2))^n)/4.
G.f.: (1 + 2*x)/(1 - 8*x + 8*x^2).
a(n) = 2*(2*sqrt(2))^(n-1)*(sqrt(2)*chebyshev_U(n, sqrt(2)) + chebyshev_U(n-1, sqrt(2))). - G. C. Greubel, Jul 17 2021
