G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..200
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (-1,3).
FORMULA
From R. J. Mathar, Apr 22 2013: (Start)
a(n) = -A140167(n).
G.f.: x/(1 + x - 3*x^2). (End)
G.f.: 1 - Q(0), where Q(k) = 1 + 3*x^2 - (k+2)*x + x*(k+1 - 3*x)/Q(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 06 2013
E.g.f.: (-1/sqrt(13))*(exp(-(1+sqrt(13))*x/2) - exp(-(1-sqrt(13))*x/2)). - G. C. Greubel, Aug 30 2015
a(n) = (-(-1)^n/sqrt(13))*(((1 + sqrt(13))/2)^n - ((1 - sqrt(13))/2)^n). - Taras Goy, Jul 17 2018
