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

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (-8,9).

FORMULA

a(n) = a(n-1) + q^(n-1) = (q^n - 1) / (q - 1).

a(0)=1, a(1)=-8, a(n) = -8*a(n-1)+9*a(n-2) [Harvey P. Dale, Aug 08 2011]

G.f.: x/((1 - x)*(1 + 9*x)). - Vincenzo Librandi, Oct 22 2012

MAPLE
