Seiichi Manyama, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..3556

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (7,-21,35,-35,21,-7,1,1).

Formula

G.f.: (1-x)^6/((1-x)^7-x^8).

a(n) = 7*a(n-1)-21*a(n-2)+35*a(n-3)-35*a(n-4)+21*a(n-5)-7*a(n-6)+a(n-7)+a(n-8) for n > 7.

a(n) = A017857(7*n).

Mathematica

a[n_] := Sum[Binomial[k, 7*(n-k)], {k, 0, n}]; Array[a, 40, 0] (* Amiram Eldar, Jun 21 2021 *)
