COMMENT

Generalized Fibonacci numbers.

As R. K. Guy suggested on the SeqFan list, the sequence could be extended "to the left side" by ..., 10, 1, 1, -8, 73, -665, 6058, -55187, 502741, -4579856, 41721445, ... by using the recurrence equation to get a(n-2) = a(n) - 9 a(n-1). The sequence 1,-8,73,... would have g.f. (1+x)/(1+9x-x^2).
