Colin Barker, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (6,-11,6).

Formula

a(n) = (A007689(n)+1)/2.

From Colin Barker, Apr 07 2016: (Start)

a(n) = 6*a(n-1)-11*a(n-2)+6*a(n-3) for n>3.

G.f.: x*(3-11*x+9*x^2) / ((1-x)*(1-2*x)*(1-3*x)).

(End)

a(n) = A001550(n)/2, for n >= 1. - Altug Alkan, Apr 08 2016

Example

a(3) = (1 + 2^3 + 3^3)/2 = 18.
