R. H. Hardin, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..210

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (2,3,1).

FORMULA

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

G.f.: Q(0)/2 , where Q(k) = 1 + 1/(1- x*(4*k+2 +3*x+x^2)/(x*(4*k+4 +3*x+x^2) + 1/Q(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 04 2013

G.f.: 1/(1-2*x-3*x^2-x^3). - Alois P. Heinz, Apr 21 2020
