Binomial transform of 1,1,8,1,8,1,8,1,8,1,8,1,8,1,8,...
FORMULA
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-2), n>2, with a(0)=1, a(1)=2, a(2)=11.
a(n) = 9*2^(n-1) - 7, n>0, with a(0)=1.
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 7, n>1, with a(0)=1, a(1)=2.
From G. C. Greubel, Sep 08 2016: (Start)
a(n) = 9*2^(n-1) - 7 for n >= 1.
E.g.f.: (1/2)*(9*exp(2*x) - 14*exp(x) + 7). (End)
