Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (12,-24,-96,256).

Formula

a(n) = 8*a(n-1) + 8*a(n-2) - 64*a(n-3) - 2^(2n-3) with n>2, with a(0)=1, a(1)=6, a(2)=24.

a(n) = 2^(3n/2-1)*(2^(3n/2-1) + 2^(n/2-1) + 1) if n is even,

a(n) = 2^((3*n-1)/2-1)*(2^((3*n-1)/2) + 2^((n-1)/2) + 3) if n is odd.

G.f.: (1-6*x-24*x^2+120*x^3)/((1-4*x)*(1-8*x)*(1-8*x^2)). [Bruno Berselli, May 17 2013]
