Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..10000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3,-3,1).

Formula

a(n) = a(n-1) + 24*n + 16.

a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-2) + 16.

a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3).

a(n) = A077591(n+1) + A061037(2*n-1).

From Bruno Berselli, Jan 25 2011: (Start)

G.f.: (-1 +18*x +7*x^2)/(1-x)^3.

a(n) = A184005(4*n) (n>0). (End)

E.g.f.: (-1 + 16*x + 12*x^2)*exp(x). - G. C. Greubel, Jul 22 2017

From Amiram Eldar, Oct 08 2023: (Start)

Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = (3*log(3) - Pi*sqrt(3) + 4)/16.

Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = (3*Pi - 2*sqrt(3)*log(sqrt(3)+2) - 4)/16. (End)
