FORMULA

a(n)=4a(n-1)+11a(n-2)-2a(n-3) (derived from the minimal polynomial of the matrix M).

EXAMPLE

a(6)=4263 because M^3=[13742,6930,4263; 25053,12671,7819; 41034,20790,12853]; alternatively, a(6)=4a(5)+11a(4)-2a(3)=4*729+11*123-2*23=4263.

MAPLE

with(linalg): M[1]:=matrix(3, 3, [1, 1, 1, 4, 2, 1, 9, 3, 1]): for n from 2 to 25 do M[n]:=multiply(M[1], M[n-1]) od: seq(M[n][1, 3], n=1..25);

a[1]:=1:a[2]:=3:a[3]:=23:for n from 4 to 25 do a[n]:=4*a[n-1]+11*a[n-2]-2*a[n-3] od: seq(a[n], n=1..25);
