Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3,-3,1).

Formula

a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3).

G.f.: x*(-28 - 215*x - 45*x^2)/(x-1)^3.

576*a(n) + 1 = (288*n - 161)^2. - Vincenzo Librandi, Feb 09 2012

From Elmo R. Oliveira, Oct 31 2024: (Start)

E.g.f.: exp(x)*(144*x^2 - 17*x + 45) - 45.

a(n) = (9*n - 5)*(16*n - 9). (End)
