G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3,9).

Formula

a(n) = 3^n*Fibonacci(n+1) = 3^n*A000045(n+1).

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} 2^k*A016095(n,k).

G.f.: 1/(1-3*x-9*x^2).

Limit_{n->oo} a(n+1)/a(n) = 3*(1+sqrt(5))/2.

a(n) = A099012(n+1). - R. J. Mathar, Aug 02 2008

a(n) = A085504(n) for n >= 2. - Georg Fischer, Nov 03 2018
