Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (34,714,-4641,-12376,12376,4641,-714,-34,1).

a(n) = F(n)^8, F(n)=A000045(n).

G.f.: x*p(8, x)/q(8, x) with p(8, x) := sum_{m=0..7} A056588(7, m)*x^m = (1+x)*(1 - 34*x - 458*x^2 + 2242*x^3 - 458*x^4 - 34*x^5 + x^6) and q(8, x) := sum_{m=0..9} A055870(9, m)*x^m = (1-x)*(1 + 3*x + x^2)*(1 - 7*x + x^2)*(1 + 18*x + x^2)*(1 - 47*x + x^2) (denominator factorization deduced from Riordan result).

Recursion (cf. Knuth's exercise): sum_{m=0..9} A055870(9, m)*a(n-m) = 0, n >= 9; inputs: a(n), n=0..8. a(n) = 34*a(n-1) + 714*a(n-2) - 4641*a(n-3) - 12376*a(n-4) + 12376*a(n-5) + 4641*a(n-6) - 714*a(n-7) - 34*a(n-8) + a(n-9).

a(n+1) = 8*F(n)^2*F(n+1)^2*[F(n)^4+F(n+1)^4+4*F(n)^2*F(n+1)^2+3*F(n)*F(n+1)*F(n+2)]-[F(n)^8+F(n+2)^8]+2*[2*F(n+1)^2-(-1)^n]^4 = {Sum(0 <= j <= [n/2]; binomial(n-j, j))}^8, for n>=0 (This is Theorem 2.2 (vii) of Azarian's second paper in the references for this sequence). - Mohammad K.
