Paolo Xausa, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (17,-79,63).

Formula

G.f.: 1/(1-9*x)-1/(1-7*x)+1/(1-x).

E.g.f.: exp(9*x)-exp(7*x)+exp(x).

a(n) = 16*a(n-1)-63*a(n-2)+48 with a(0) = 1, a(1) = 3. - Vincenzo Librandi, Jul 21 2010
