Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (7,-11,5).
FORMULA
a(n) = (5^(n+1) + 12*n + 11)/16.
a(n) = 7*a(n-1) - 11*a(n-2) + 5*a(n-3), with a(0)=1, a(1)=3, a(2)=10. - Harvey P. Dale, Dec 31 2011
E.g.f.: (1/16)*(5*exp(5*x) + (11 + 12*x)*exp(x)). - G. C. Greubel, Aug 18 2023
