COMMENT

Characteristic polynomial is: t=3;

-t^4 - x^3/t + x^4

FORMULA

t=3;

M={{0, t, 0, 0},

{0, 0, t, 0},

{0, 0, 0, t},

{t, 0, 0, 1/t}}.

v(n)=M.v(n-1);

a(n)=v(n)[[1]].

Apparently a(n)= a(n-1)+6561*a(n-4) and therefore g.f. = -(1+8*x+72*x^2+648*x^3)/(-1+x+6561*x^4). [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Mar 31 2009]

v[n_] := v[n] = M.v[n - 1];
