FORMULA

a(n+3) = 3*a(n+2) - 3*a(n+1) - a(n); a(1) = 1, a(2) = 47, a(3) = 138. Let M = the 3 X 3 matrix [1 0 0 / 1 1 0 / 1 45 1]. Then M^n * [1 0 0] = [1 n a(n)].

EXAMPLE

a(6) = 681 = 3*a(5) - 3*a(4) + a(3) = 3*455 - 3*274 + 138.

a(37) = 30007 since M^37 * [1 0 0] = [1 37 30007].

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := (MatrixPower[{{1, 0, 0}, {1, 1, 0}, {1, 45, 1}}, n].{{1}, {0}, {0}})[[3, 1]]; Table[ a[n], {n, 40}] (from Robert G. Wilson v Jun 05 2004)
