FORMULA
|
a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - 6*a(n-2); given a(1) = 1, a(2) = 5. Term (1,1) of X^n, where X = the 3x3 matrix [1,1,1; 1,2,1; 3,1,3].
O.g.f.: x(1-x)/(1-6x+6x^2). a(n)=A030192(n-1)-A030192(n-2). - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), May 31 2008
a(n)=(1/2)*[3-sqrt(3)]^n+(1/3)*sqrt(3)*[3+sqrt(3)]^n+(1/2)*[3+sqrt(3)]^n-(1/3)*[3-sqrt(3)]^n *sqrt(3), with n>=0 - Paolo P. Lava (ppl(AT)spl.at), Jun 25 2008

EXAMPLE
|
a(5) = 540 = 6*a(4) - 6*a(3) = 6*(114) - 6*24.
a(5) = 540 = term (1,1) of X^5.
