G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000 (terms 0..177 from Vincenzo Librandi)
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (2,7).
FORMULA
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 7*a(n-2) for n > 1; a(0) = 1, a(1) = 17.
G.f.: (1+15*x)/(1-2*x-7*x^2).
E.g.f.: exp(x)*(cosh(2*sqrt(2)*x) + 4*sqrt(2)*sinh(2*sqrt(2)*x)). - G. C. Greubel, Aug 11 2017
