Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..200

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (0,14,0,-1).

Formula

G.f.: (3+7*x+3*x^2-x^3)/(1-14*x^2+x^4).

From Gerry Martens, Jul 11 2015: (Start)

Interspersion of 2 sequences [a0(n),a1(n)] for n>0:

a0(n) = (-((7-4*sqrt(3))^n*(3+2*sqrt(3)))+(-3+2*sqrt(3))*(7+4*sqrt(3))^n)/2.

a1(n) = ((7-4*sqrt(3))^n+(7+4*sqrt(3))^n)/2. (End)
