G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (6,36).

Formula

a(n) = Trace of matrix [({6,6},{6,0})^n].

a(n) = 6^n * Trace of matrix [({1,1},{1,0})^n].

From Colin Barker, Sep 02 2013: (Start)

a(n) = 6*a(n-1) + 36*a(n-2).

G.f.: -6*x*(12*x+1)/(36*x^2+6*x-1). (End)
