Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..300

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (19,-88).

Formula

a(n) = 19*a(n-1) - 88*a(n-2). - Vincenzo Librandi, Jun 02 2011

From Elmo R. Oliveira, Apr 01 2025: (Start)

G.f.: 3*x/((1-8*x)*(1-11*x)).

E.g.f.: 2*exp(19*x/2)*sinh(3*x/2).

a(n) = 3*A016187(n-1) for n >= 1. (End)
