Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (-3,-4).

Formula

For n>0, a(n) = (1/r)^n + (1/s)^n, with r = (-3-i*sqrt(7))/8 and s = (-3+i*sqrt(7))/8 the roots of 4x^2+3x+1. - Ralf Stephan, Jul 20 2013

a(n) = -3*a(n-1) - 4*a(n-2) for n > 2. - Harry Richman, May 05 2020
