Colin Barker, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..632

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (37,37,-1).

Formula

From Colin Barker, Jun 04 2015: (Start)

a(n) = 37*a(n-1) + 37*a(n-2) - a(n-3).

G.f.: x*(35+38*x-x^2) / ((1+x)*(1-38*x+x^2)). (End)

a(n) = (1/20)*(3*A085447(2*n+1) + 2*(-1)^n). - G. C. Greubel, Feb 13 2023
