COMMENTS

a(n) is the number of nonary sequences of length n such that no two consecutive terms have distance 6. - David Nacin, May 31 2017

LINKS

Table of n, a(n) for n=0..19.

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (8,3).

FORMULA

G.f.: (1 + x)/(1 - 8*x -3*x^2).

a(n) = 8*a(n-1) + 3*a(n-2) with n>1, a(0) = 1, a(1) = 9.

a(n) = ((1+t)*(4-t)^(n+1)+(-1+t)*(4+t)^(n+1))/(6*t), where t=sqrt(19). [Bruno Berselli, Feb 04 2015]
