Colin Barker, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (4,-6,4,-1).

Formula

a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 6*a(n-2) + 4*a(n-3) - a(n-4).

From Colin Barker, Dec 04 2017: (Start)

G.f.: x*(4 + 19*x + x^2) / (1 - x)^4.

a(n) = (n*(-3 + 3*n + 8*n^2))/2.
