Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..100

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (11,-10).

Formula

a(n) = 10*a(n-1) + 53 for n > 0, a(0) = -5.

From Vincenzo Librandi, Jul 05 2012: (Start)

G.f.: x*(3+50*x)/((1-x)*(1-10*x)).

a(n) = 11*a(n-1) - 10*a(n-2). (End)

E.g.f.: exp(x)*(8*exp(9*x) - 53)/9. - Elmo R. Oliveira, Sep 09 2024
