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

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3040, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1).

Formula

G.f.: -(x^14 -x^13 +3*x^12 -7*x^11 +10*x^10 -27*x^9 +64*x^8 -91*x^7 -64*x^6 -27*x^5 -10*x^4 -7*x^3 -3*x^2 -x -1) / (x^16 -3040*x^8 +1). - Colin Barker, Nov 18 2013

a(n) = 3040*a(n-8) - a(n-16) for n>15. - Vincenzo Librandi, Dec 19 2013
