R. H. Hardin, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (10,-33,40,-16).

Formula

a(n) = n*(2*4^(n-1)-1).

a(n) = 10*a(n-1) -33*a(n-2) +40*a(n-3) -16*a(n-4).

G.f.: -x*(-1-4*x+14*x^2) / ( (4*x-1)^2*(x-1)^2 ). - R. J. Mathar, Oct 21 2014
