Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..400

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (9,-8).

Formula

a(n) = (8^(n+2) - 1)/7 - 1.

G.f.: 8/((1-x)*(1-8*x)). - R. J. Mathar, Nov 19 2007

a(n) = 8*a(n-1) + 8.

a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} 8^k. - corrected by Michel Marcus, Sep 25 2014

Conjecture: a(n) = A023001(n+2)-1. - R. J. Mathar, May 18 2007. Comment from Vim Wenders, Mar 26 2008: The conjecture is true: the g.f. leads to the closed form a(n) = -(8/7)*(1^n) + (64/7)*(8^n) = (-8 + 64*8^n)/7 = (-8 + 8^(n+2))/7 = (8^(n+2) - 1)/7 - 1 = A023001(n+2) - 1.

a(n) = 9*a(n-1) - 8*a(n-2); a(0)=8, a(1)=72. - Harvey P. Dale, Sep 22 2013

a(n) = 8*A023001(n+1). - Alois P. Heinz, Feb 15 2023

Example

For n=1, the numbers from 1 to 99 which have 0 or 1 as a digit are the numbers 1 and 10, 20, 30, ..., 90 and 11, 12, ..., 18, 19 and 21, 31, ..., 91. So a(1) = 99 - 27 = 72.
