COMMENT

Suggested by the Steinbach heptagon polynomial p^3 - p^2*(1 - p) - 2*p(1 - p)^2 + (1 - p)^3 = (1 - 5 p + 6 p^2 - p^3). - Roger Bagula (rlbagulatftn(AT)yahoo.com), Sep 20 2006

FORMULA

Let v(3)=(1, 1, 1), let M(3) be the 3 X 3 matrix m(i, j) =min(i, j), so M(3)=(1, 1, 1)/(1, 2, 2)/(1, 2, 3); then a(n)= Max ( v(3)*M(3)^n) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Oct 03 2002

G.f.: 1/(1-6x+5x^2-x^3). - Roger Bagula and Gary Adamson (rlbagulatftn(AT)yahoo.com), Sep 20 2006

MATHEMATICA

p[x_] := 1 - 5 x + 6 x^2 - x^3; q[x_] := ExpandAll[x^3*p[1/x]]; Table[ SeriesCoefficient[ Series[x/q[x], {x, 0, 30}], n], {n, 0, 30}] - Roger Bagula (rlbagulatftn(AT)yahoo.com), Sep 20 2006

PROGRAM

(PARI) k=3; M(k)=matrix(k, k, i, j, min(i, j)); v(k)=vector(k, i, 1); a(n)=vecmax(v(k)*M(k)^n)
