G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000 (terms 0..200 from Vincenzo Librandi)

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (5,-4).

Formula

a(n) = 4*a(n-1) + 21.

G.f.: (1+20*x)/((1-x)*(1-4*x)). - R. J. Mathar, Sep 13 2008

a(n) = 10*A000975(2n) + A000975(2n+1). - Paul Curtz, Sep 17 2008

From G. C. Greubel, Sep 30 2017

a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 4*a(n-2).

E.g.f.: 8*exp(4*x) - 7*exp(x). (End)
