Georg Fischer, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (-3,4).

Formula

a(n) = 4*a(n-2) - 3*a(n-1), a(0)= 1, a(1)= 2, for n>1.

a(n) = 6 - 4*a(n-1), a(0)=1.

a(n) = a(n-1) + (-4)^(n-1), a(0)=1.

G.f.: (1+5x)/(1+3x-4x^2).

E.g.f.: (6*exp(x) - exp(-4x))/5.
