Formula

G.f.: (5*x^4 - 6*x^5 - 8*x^6 - 2*x^7)/(1 - 2*x - x^2)^3.

a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - 9*a(n-2) - 4*a(n-3) + 9*a(n-4) + 6*a(n-5) + a(n-6) for n >= 8.

Example

The first 6 nu polynomials are nu(0) = 1, nu(1) = 2, nu(2) = 5, nu(3) = 12 + 2*q, nu(4) = 29 + 9*q + 5*q^2, nu(5) = 70 + 32q + 24*q^2 + 14*q^3 + 2*q^4, so the coefficients of q^2 are 0,0,0,0,5,24.

Mathematica

b=2; lambda=1; expon=2; nu[0]=1; nu[1]=b; nu[n_] := nu[n]=Together[b*nu[n-1]+lambda(1-q^(n-1))/(1-q)nu[n-2]]; a[n_] := Coefficient[nu[n], q, expon]
