Vincenzo Librandi, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (32,-384,2048,-4096).

Formula

From R. J. Mathar, Dec 19 2008: (Start)

G.f.: 384x^2/(1-8x)^4.

a(n) = 384*A140802(n-2). (End)

a(n) = 32*a(n-1) - 384*a(n-2) + 2048*a(n-3) - 4096*a(n-4). - Vincenzo Librandi, Feb 11 2013

From Amiram Eldar, Oct 02 2022: (Start)

a(n) = A007531(n+1)*A001018(n).

Sum_{n>=2} 1/a(n) = (49/16)*log(8/7) - 13/32.

Sum_{n>=2} (-1)^n/a(n) = (81/16)*log(9/8) - 19/32. (End)
