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

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (38,-1).

Formula

a(n) = (1/2)*((-3+sqrt(10))*(19+6*sqrt(10))^n + (-3-sqrt(10))*(19-6*sqrt(10))^n).

a(n) = -a(-n+1).

G.f.: -3*(1-39*x)/(1-38*x+x^2). - Bruno Berselli, Jan 03 2011
