Andrew Howroyd, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (8,-19,12).

Formula

a(n) = 8*a(n-1) - 19*a(n-2) + 12*a(n-3) for n > 3.

G.f.: 3*x*(1 - 5*x + 8*x^2)/((1 - x)*(1 - 3*x)*(1 - 4*x)).

Prog

(PARI) Vec(3*(1 - 5*x + 8*x^2)/((1 - x)*(1 - 3*x)*(1 - 4*x)) + O(x^25))
