COMMENTS

Binomial transform of A081190.

Number of strings of length n of the decimal digits 0..9 that contain an even number of 0's.

An equivalent formulation is: a(n) is also the number of words of length n over an alphabet of ten letters with a chosen letter appearing an even number of times. See a comment in A007582, also for the cross references for the 1- to 11-letter word cases. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 17 2017

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (18,-80).

FORMULA

G.f.: (1 - 9*x)/((1 - 8*x)*(1 -10*x)).

E.g.f.: exp(9*x)*cosh(x).

a(n) = (8^n + 10^n)/2 = 2^(n-1)*(4^n + 5^n).

a(n) = 18*a(n-1) - 80*a(n-2), a(0) = 1, a(1) = 9.

a(n) = 8*a(n-1) + 10^(n-1), a(1) = 9.

EXAMPLE

For n = 1 there are 9 strings: {1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9};

for n = 2 there are 82: {00 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 21 ... 96 97 98 99}.
