Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (25).

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A097805(n,k)*(-1)^(n-k)*26^k. - Philippe Deléham, Dec 04 2009

a(0) = 1; for n>0, a(n) = 26*25^(n-1). - Vincenzo Librandi, Dec 05 2009

E.g.f.: (26*exp(25*x) - 1)/25. - G. C. Greubel, Sep 25 2019

Maple

k:=26; seq(`if`(n=0, 1, k*(k-1)^(n-1)), n = 0..25); # G. C. Greubel, Sep 25 2019
