Colin Barker, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..600

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (20,210,-540,-729).

Formula

G.f.: x*(1 + 105*x - 513*x^2 - 729*x^3) / ((1 + x)*(1 - 3*x)*(1 + 9*x)*(1 - 27*x)). - R. J. Mathar, Sep 09 2008

a(n) = ((-1)^n + 3^(1+n) + (-1)^n*3^(1+2*n) + 27^n) / 8 for n>0. - Colin Barker, Dec 23 2017

Example

a(3) = 2197 = 13^3 = (A046717(a))^3.
