Peter Kagey, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (4,-4).

Formula

G.f.: (1 - x^2)/(1 - 2*x)^2.

a(n) = A207615(n+2, 2).

a(n) = 2^(n-2)*(3*n + 5) for n >= 1. - Kevin Ryde, Nov 28 2020

E.g.f.: (exp(2*x)*(5 + 6*x) - 1)/4. - Stefano Spezia, May 14 2023

Maple

a := proc(n) option remember; if n <= 2 then return [1, 4, 11][n+1] fi;
4*a(n - 1) - 4*a(n - 2) end: seq(a(n), n = 0..31);
