G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (9,-27,27).
FORMULA
a(n) = 3^(n - 2)*(n + 2)*(n + 9)/2 = 3^n*(n^2 + 11*n + 18)/18.
G.f.: (1 - 2*x)^2/(1 - 3*x)^3.
E.g.f.: (2 + 4*x + x^2)*exp(3*x)/2. - G. C. Greubel, Oct 18 2018
From Amiram Eldar, Feb 03 2026: (Start)
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 20103579/980 - (354132/7)*log(3/2).
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = 14276709/980 - (354456/7)*log(4/3). (End)
