Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (11, -53, 147, -259, 301, -231, 113, -32, 4).
FORMULA
Recurrence: a(n) = 4*a(n-9) - 32*a(n-8) + 113*a(n-7) - 231*a(n-6) + 301*a(n-5) - 259*a(n-4) + 147*a(n-3) - 53*a(n-2) + 11*a(n-1).
G.f.: -(1 + 501*x + 11957*x^2 + 52145*x^3 + 55651*x^4 + 13919*x^5 + 695*x^6 + 27*x^7)/((x-1)^7*(2*x-1)^2).
a(n) = (1751437*n - 15876635)*2^n + 8431/45*n^6 + 22263/5*n^5 + 500633/9*n^4 + 1381699/3*n^3 + 117001024/45*n^2 + 138801256/15*n + 15876636.
