G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..500
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,-36).
FORMULA
G.f.: (t^16 + 2*t^15 + 2*t^14 + 2*t^13 + 2*t^12 + 2*t^11 + 2*t^10 + 2*t^9 + 2*t^8 + 2*t^7 + 2*t^6 + 2*t^5 + 2*t^4 + 2*t^3 + 2*t^2 + 2*t + 1)/( 36*t^16 - 8*t^15 - 8*t^14 - 8*t^13 - 8*t^12 - 8*t^11 - 8*t^10 - 8*t^9 - 8*t^8 - 8*t^7 - 8*t^6 - 8*t^5 - 8*t^4 - 8*t^3 - 8*t^2 - 8*t + 1).
From G. C. Greubel, Jul 23 2024: (Start)
a(n) = 8*Sum_{j=1..15} a(n-j) - 36*a(n-16).
G.f.: (1+t)*(1 - t^16)/(1 - 9*t + 44*t^16 - 36*t^17). (End)
