Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (2,-1,2,-4,2,-1,2,-1).
FORMULA
G.f.: x*(10*x^6+39*x^5+61*x^4+76*x^3+49*x^2+19*x+2) / ((x-1)^4*(x^2+x+1)^2). - Colin Barker, Mar 12 2014
a(n) = 2*a(n-1)-a(n-2)+2*a(n-3)-4*a(n-4)+2*a(n-5)-a(n-6)+2*a(n-7)-a(n-8). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Nov 19 2021
