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

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (17,-84,108).

Formula

From Mohammad K. Azarian, Dec 27 2008: (Start)

G.f.: 1/(1-2*x) + 1/(1-6*x) + 1/(1-9*x).

E.g.f.: exp(2*x) + exp(6*x) + exp(9*x). (End)

a(n) = 17*a(n-1) - 84*a(n-2) + 108*a(n-3); a(0)=3, a(1)=17, a(2)=121. - Harvey P. Dale, Feb 20 2015
