Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..100

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (11,-10).

Formula

a(n) = 10*a(n-1)+17 with n>0, a(0)=-1.

a(n) = 11*a(n-1) -10*a(n-2). - Vincenzo Librandi, Jul 05 2012

G.f.: x*(7+10*x)/((1-x)*(1-10*x)). - Vincenzo Librandi, Jul 05 2012
