Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..300
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (17,-90,144).
FORMULA
From Mohammad K. Azarian, Dec 30 2008: (Start)
G.f.: 1/(1-3*x) + 1/(1-6*x) + 1/(1-8*x).
E.g.f.: e^(3*x) + e^(6*x) + e^(8*x). (End)
a(n) = 17*a(n-1) - 90*a(n-2) + 144*a(n-3); a(0)=3, a(1)=17, a(2)=109. - Harvey P. Dale, May 19 2011
