Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..200

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (19).

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A097805(n,k)*(-1)^(n-k)*20^k. - Philippe Deléham, Dec 04 2009

a(0) = 1; for n>0, a(n) = 20*19^(n-1). - Vincenzo Librandi, Dec 05 2009

a(0) = 1, a(1) = 20; for n>1, a(n) = 19*a(n-1). - Vincenzo Librandi, Dec 05 2012

E.g.f.: (20*exp(19*x) - 1)/19. - G. C. Greubel, Sep 24 2019
