Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000

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

Formula

a(n) = 9*n - a(n-1) - 1, with n>1, a(1)=4.

a(n) = (7 + 9*(-1)^n + 18*n)/4. - Paolo P. Lava, Nov 27 2009

G.f.: x*(4 + 9*x - 4*x^2)/((1+x)*(x-1)^2). - Vincenzo Librandi, Sep 18 2013

a(n) = a(n-1) +a(n-2) -a(n-3). - Vincenzo Librandi, Sep 18 2013

E.g.f.: (1/4)*(9 - 16*exp(x) + (7 + 18*x)*exp(2*x))*exp(-x). - G. C. Greubel, Jul 21 2016
