Table of n, a(n) for n=0..53.

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (2,-1).

Formula

a(n) = A242215(n) - 1.

a(n) = A298035(n+1) + 1.

From Elmo R. Oliveira, Apr 08 2024: (Start)

G.f.: 2*(2+7*x)/(1-x)^2.

E.g.f.: 2*exp(x)*(2 + 9*x).

a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-2) for n >= 2.

a(n) = 2*A017185(n) = A006370(A016921(n)). (End)
