G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3,-1,-3,2).

FORMULA

a(n) = (2^(n+3) - 5*(-1)^n - 3*(2*n+1))/12.

a(n+2) = a(n+1) + 2*a(n) + n, a(0)=0, a(1)=1.

G.f.: x*(1 - 2*x + 2*x^2)/(1 - 3*x + x^2 + 3*x^3 - 2*x^4). - Colin Barker, Jan 16 2012
