COMMENT

Given M^n * [0,0,1] = [A122883(n), a(n), A122885(n)] = [p, q, r], then M^(n+1) * [0,0,1] = the three terms in f(x), 1,2,3: p*A122883(n)*x^2 + q*a(n)*x + r*A122885(n) = A122883(n+1) + a(n+1) + A122885(n+1). Example: M^3 * [0,0,1] = [3, 7, 13]. Then (f(x),x=1,2,3]: 3x^2 + 7x + 13 = the three terms in M^4 * [0,0,1] = [23, 39, 61].

FORMULA

a(n) = middle term in M^n * [0, 0, 1] where M = the 3 X 3 matrix [1,1,1; 4,2,1; 9,3,1] a(1) = 1, a(2) = 7; a(n+1) = 4*a(n) + 11*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-3).

a(n)=-(29/68)*sqrt(2)*[3-2*sqrt(2)]^(n-1)+(19/34)*[3+2*sqrt(2)]^(n-1)+(29/68)*[3+2*sqrt(2)]^(n-1) *sqrt(2)+(19/34)*[3-2*sqrt(2)]^(n-1)-(2/17)*(-2)^(n-1), with n>=1 - Paolo P. Lava (ppl(AT)spl.at), Jul 09 2008

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 39 since M^3 * [0,0,1] = [23, 39, 61] = [A122883(3), a(3), A122885(3)].

a(6) = 7819 = 4*a(5) + 11*a(4) - 2*a(3) = 4*1339 + 11*231 - 2*39.
