G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (-1,12).

Formula

a(n) = -a(n-1) + 12*a(n-2), a(0) = 1, a(1) = -3, for n>1.

a(n) = Sum_{0<=k<=n} A112555(n,k)*(-4)^k.

G.f.: (1-2x)/(1+x-12x^2).

E.g.f.: (1/7)*(exp(3*x) + 6*exp(-4*x)). - G. C. Greubel, Apr 24 2016
