Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..70

Formula

a(n) = a(n-1) + 6^(n-2)*a(n-2).

Associated constant: C_6 = lim_{n->infinity} a(n)*a(n-2)/a(n-1)^2 = 1.046607628427088904183396615... . - Benoit Cloitre, Aug 30 2003

a(n)*a(n+3) - a(n)*a(n+2) - 6*a(n+1)*a(n+2) + 6*a(n+1)^2 = 0. - Emanuele Munarini, Dec 05 2017

Maple

q:=6; seq(add((product((1-q^(n-j-1-k))/(1-q^(k+1)), k=0..j-1))*q^(j^2), j = 0..floor((n-1)/2)), n = 0..20); # G. C. Greubel, Dec 16 2019
