%N Second elementary symmetric function of the first n terms of (1,3,9,27,81,...).

%H <a href="/index/Rec">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (13,-39,27).

%F a(n) =3*A006100(n).

%F From _Colin Barker_, Aug 15 2014: (Start)

%F a(n) = (3-4*3^n+9^n)/16.

%F a(n) = 13*a(n-1)-39*a(n-2)+27*a(n-3).

%F G.f.: -3*x^2 / ((x-1)*(3*x-1)*(9*x-1)). (End)

%t f[k_] := 3^(k - 1); t[n_] := Table[f[k], {k, 1, n}]

%t a[n_] := SymmetricPolynomial[2, t[n]]

%t Table[a[n], {n, 2, 32}] (* A203243 *)

%t Table[a[n]/3, {n, 2, 32}] (* A006100 *)

%o (PARI) Vec(-3*x^2/((x-1)*(3*x-1)*(9*x-1)) + O(x^100)) \\ _Colin Barker_, Aug 15 2014

%Y Cf. A006100.
