Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (10,-35,50,-24).
FORMULA
a(n) = 8*4^n - 12*3^n + 6*2^n - 1.
a(n) = 10*a(n-1) - 35*a(n-2) + 50*a(n-3) - 24*a(n-4). - Colin Barker, Feb 22 2015
G.f.: -x*(24*x^3 - 50*x^2 + 27*x - 7) / ((x-1)*(2*x-1)*(3*x-1)*(4*x-1)). - Colin Barker, Feb 22 2015
