Harvey P. Dale, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (-1,20).

Formula

a(n) = -a(n-1) + 20*a(n-2), a(0) = 1, a(1) = -4, for n>1.

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A112555(n,k)*(-5)^k.

G.f.: (1-3x)/(1+x-20x^2).

E.g.f.: (1/9)*(exp(4*x) + 8*exp(-5*x)). - G. C. Greubel, Apr 24 2016
