G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..995

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (15,-50).

Formula

G.f.: 5*x/((1-5*x)*(1-10*x)).

a(n) = 15*a(n-1) - 50*a(n-2).

a(n) = 5^n*(2^n-1) = A000351(n) * A000225(n) = A011557(n) - A000351(n).

a(n) = 5*A016164(n-1).

a(n) = A016164(n) - A011557(n).

E.g.f.: exp(10*x) - exp(5*x). - G. C. Greubel, Nov 13 2024
