Table of n, a(n) for n=0..28.

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (6,-12).

Formula

a(n) = n! * [x^n] exp(3*x)*sin(sqrt(3)*x)/sqrt(3).

a(n) = (w/6)*((3 - w)^n - (3 + w)^n) where w = sqrt(-3).

a(n) = 6*a(n - 1) - 12*a(n - 2) for n >= 2.

a(n) = 2^n*3^((n - 1)/2)*sin((Pi*n)/6).

a(n) = 2^(n-1)*A057083(n-1) = 2^(n-1)*3^((n-1)/2)*ChebyshevU(n-1, sqrt(3)/2) for n >= 1.

Maple

w := sqrt(-3): a := n -> (w/6)*((3 - w)^n - (3 + w)^n):
seq(simplify(a(n)), n = 0..28);
# Alternative:
a := proc(n) option remember; if n < 2 then n else 6*(a(n - 1) - 2*a(n - 2)) fi end:
seq(a(n), n = 0..28);
