Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..100

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (101,-100).

Formula

a(n) = 100*a(n-1) + 99 = A002283(2*n) = A098608(n) - 1.

From Chai Wah Wu, Sep 22 2016: (Start)

a(n) = 101*a(n-1) - 100*a(n-2) for n > 1.

G.f.: 99*x/((x - 1)*(100*x - 1)). (End)

E.g.f.: exp(x)*(exp(99*x) - 1). - Stefano Spezia, Aug 05 2024

a(n) = A002283(n)*A062397(n). - Elmo R. Oliveira, Sep 09 2024
