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

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (-1,4).

Formula

a(n) = (-1)^n * A026597(n).

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-2)^(n-k) * A055830(n,k).

G.f.: (1-x)/(1+x-4*x^2).

a(n) = (-2*i)^n*( ChebyshevU(n, -i/4) - (i/2)*ChebyshevU(n-1, -i/4) ). - G. C. Greubel, Dec 23 2021

E.g.f.: exp(-x/2)*(17*cosh(sqrt(17)*x/2) - 3*sqrt(17)*sinh(sqrt(17)*x/2))/17. - Stefano Spezia, Apr 03 2023
