COMMENT

Sequence generated from level 2 of the Pascal tetrahedron.

REFERENCES

Peter Hilton, Derek Holton and Jean Pederson, "Mathematical Vistas, From a Room With Many Windows"; Springer, 2000, p. 178, Fig. 14, "The Pascal Tetrahedron".

FORMULA

a(n)=3a(n-1)+3a(n-2)-2a(n-3) (derived from the minimal polynomial of the matrix M).

EXAMPLE

a(4)=73 because M^4 = [73,86,19 / 86,104,24 / 19,24,6]. Alternatively, a(4)=3a(3)+3a(2)-2a(1)=57+18-2=73.

MAPLE

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

a[1]:=1: a[2]:=6: a[3]:=19: for n from 4 to 27 do a[n]:=3*a[n-1]+3*a[n-2]-2*a[n-3] od: seq(a[n], n=1..27);
