Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (15, -103, 429, -1210, 2442, -3630, 4026, -3333, 2035, -891, 265, -48, 4).

Formula

Recurrence: a(n) = 4*a(n-13) - 48*a(n-12) + 265*a(n-11) - 891*a(n-10) + 2035*a(n-9) - 3333*a(n-8) + 4026*a(n-7) - 3630*a(n-6) + 2442*a(n-5) - 1210*a(n-4) + 429*a(n-3) - 103*a(n-2) + 15*a(n-1).

a(n) = (74405871551*n - 1097352668753)*2^n + 696317/2016*n^10 + 420699809/30240*n^9 + 66463031/210*n^8 + 26602370087/5040*n^7 + 33515235289/480*n^6 + 1076425504013/1440*n^5 + 32380230257101/5040*n^4 + 325331895133417/7560*n^3 + 29685456992323/140*n^2 + 72053208873316/105*n + 1097352668754.
