Matthew House, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (12,-21,10).
FORMULA
a(n) = (2/81)*(10^(n+1) - 9*n - 10). - R. Piyo (nagoya314(AT)yahoo.com), Dec 10 2004
a(n) = 12*a(n-1) - 21*a(n-2) + 10*a(n-3). - Matthew House, Jun 30 2016
G.f.: 2*x/((1 - x)^2*(1 - 10*x)). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jun 30 2016
EXAMPLE
2 + 22 + 222 + 2222 = a(4) = 2468.
