Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3,-3,1).

Formula

a(n) = (n^2 + n - 90)/2 = (n-9)*(n+10)/2 = n*(n+1)/2 - 45.

a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3), n>=13.

a(n) = n + a(n-1) (with a(9) = 0). - Vincenzo Librandi, Aug 06 2010

G.f.: x^10*(10 - 9*x)/(1-x)^3.

From Amiram Eldar, Jan 10 2021: (Start)

Sum_{n>=10} 1/a(n) = 2*A001008(19)/(19*A002805(19)) = 275295799/737176440.

Sum_{n>=10} (-1)^n/a(n) = 4*log(2)/19 - 33464927/442305864. (End)

Example

a(10) = 10 +  0 = 10;
a(11) = 11 + 10 = 21;
a(12) = 12 + 21 = 33.
