Binomial transform of A081201.

From Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 17 2017: (Start)

For a combinatorial interpretation of a(n) with special 9-letter words of length n see the comment in A081200 on the 7-letter analog.

The binomial transform of {a(n)}_{n >=0} is A081203, the 10-letter analog.

Formula

a(n) = 16a(n-1)-63a(n-2), a(0)=0, a(1)=1.

G.f.: x/((1-7*x)*(1-9*x)).

a(n) = (9^n - 7^n)/2.
