Eric Weisstein's World of Mathematics, Hexadecimal

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (17,-16).

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n} 10*16^(i).

a(n) = A131865(n-1)*10.

a(n) = 10*(16^n-1)/15. - Andrew Howroyd, Sep 08 2019

From Colin Barker, Sep 16 2019: (Start)

G.f.: 10*x / ((1 - x)*(1 - 16*x)).

a(n) = 17*a(n-1) - 16*a(n-2) for n>2.

(End)

E.g.f.: (2/3)*exp(x)*(-1 + exp(15*x)). - Stefano Spezia, Sep 17 2019

Example

a(10) = 733007751850_10 = AAAAAAAAAA_16.
