COMMENT

Suggested by "Mathematical Vistas", p. 178, Fig 14: The Pascal Tetrahedron. The first few levels are (Level 0): 1; (Level 1): 1; 1, 1; (Level 2): 1; 2, 2; 1, 2, 1; (Level 3): 1; 3, 3; 3, 6, 3; 1, 3, 3, 1.

FORMULA

a(n)=8a(n-1)-22a(n-2)+24a(n-3)-9a(n-4) for n>=5 (derived from the minimal polynomial of the matrix M).

a(n) = (1/2) [(9n + 18) * 3^n + 11n + 18 ]. - Ralf Stephan, May 15 2007

EXAMPLE

a(6)=13164 because M^6 = [1,0,0,0 / 1092,729,0,0 / 10938,8748,729,0 / 13164,10938,1092,1]. Alternatively, a(6)=8a(5)-22a(4)+24a(3)-9a(2)=26536-16720+3528-180=13164.

MAPLE

with(linalg): M[1]:=matrix(4, 4, [1, 0, 0, 0, 3, 3, 0, 0, 3, 6, 3, 0, 1, 3, 3, 1]): for n from 2 to 27 do M[n]:=multiply(M[1], M[n-1]) od: seq(M[n][4, 1], n=1..27);

a[1]:=1:a[2]:=20:a[3]:=147:a[4]:=760: for n from 5 to 27 do a[n]:=8*a[n-1]-22*a[n-2]+24*a[n-3]-9*a[n-4] od: seq(a[n], n=1..27);
