Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (4,-3).
FORMULA
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) + 8 with a(0)=-3.
G.f.: (11*x - 3)/((1-x)*(1-3*x)). - Vincenzo Librandi, Jul 06 2012
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2). - Vincenzo Librandi, Jul 06 2012
E.g.f.: exp(3*x) - 4*exp(x). - G. C. Greubel, Jul 27 2016
