Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (15,-86,232,-288,128).
FORMULA
a(n) = 4^n*(5184*n^2 - 10368*n + 18696) - 2^n*19314 + 1095.
G.f.: 9*(53 +1040*x + 1808*x^2 +384*x^3)/((1-x)*(1-2*x)*(1-4*x)^3).
MAPLE
a := proc (n) options operator, arrow: 4^n*(5184*n^2-10368*n+18696)-19314*2^n+1095 end proc: seq(a(n), n = 0 .. 22);
