Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (1,1,-1).
FORMULA
a(n) = 6*n - a(n-1) - 4, with n>1, a(1)=1.
From Vincenzo Librandi, Sep 17 2013: (Start)
G.f.: x*(1 + 6*x - x^2)/((1+x)*(1-x)^2).
a(n) = a(n-1) +a(n-2) -a(n-3). (End)
E.g.f.: (1/2)*(3 - 2*exp(x) + (6*x - 1)*exp(2*x))*exp(-x). - G. C. Greubel, Jul 17 2016
