Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (5,-7,3).
FORMULA
G.f.: (1 + x - 8*x^2)/((1-x)^2*(1-3*x)).
a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 7*a(n-2) + 3*a(n-3).
a(n) = A176805(n) - 1.
E.g.f.: exp(x)*(exp(2*x) + 3*x). - Elmo R. Oliveira, Sep 10 2024
