Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..400

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (14,-55,100,-95,46,-9).

Formula

a(n) = 14*a(n-1) - 55*a(n-2) + 100*a(n-3) - 95*a(n-4) + 46*a(n-5) - 9*a(n-6); a(0)=1, a(1)=8, a(2)=65, a(3)=648, a(4)=6305, a(5)=58424. - Harvey P. Dale, Oct 07 2013

G.f.: (1 - 6*x + 8*x^2 + 78*x^3 + 103*x^4 + 8*x^5)/((1 - x)^5*(1 - 9*x)). - Stefano Spezia, Aug 01 2022
