Comments

Also the 120º spoke (or ray) of a hexagonal spiral of Ulam. - Robert G. Wilson v, Jul 06 2014

If two independent real random variables x and y are distributed according to the same exponential distribution with pdf(x) = lambda * exp(-lambda * x) for some lambda > 0, then the probability that 3 <= x/(n*y) < 4 is given by n/a(n) for n>1. - Andres Cicuttin, Dec 11 2016

Formula

From Colin Barker, Dec 12 2016: (Start)

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

G.f.: (1 + 17*x + 6*x^2)/(1-x)^3. (End)

E.g.f.: (1 + 19*x + 12*x^2)*exp(x). - G. C. Greubel, Oct 12 2019
