Seiichi Manyama, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..3000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (9,-36,84,-126,126,-84,36,-9,2).

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/9)} binomial(n+8,9*k+8).

a(n) = 9*a(n-1) - 36*a(n-2) + 84*a(n-3) - 126*a(n-4) + 126*a(n-5) - 84*a(n-6) + 36*a(n-7) - 9*a(n-8) + 2*a(n-9) for n > 8.
