Iain Fox, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1104 (first 1000 terms from Vincenzo Librandi)

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (17,-80,64).

Formula

G.f.: -x/((x-1)*(8*x-1)^2). - Colin Barker, Oct 15 2012

a(1)=1, a(2)=17, a(n) = 16*a(n-1) - 64*a(n-2) + 1. - Vincenzo Librandi, Oct 23 2012

E.g.f.: (exp(x) + exp(8*x)*(56*x - 1))/49. - Iain Fox, Aug 10 2018
