A074086 Coefficient of q^3 in nu(n), where nu(0)=1, nu(1)=b and, for n>=2, nu(n)=b*nu(n-1)+lambda*(1+q+q^2+...+q^(n-2))*nu(n-2) with (b,lambda)=(2,1).

Comments

The coefficient of q^0 is the Pell number A000129(n+1).

Examples

			The first 6 nu polynomials are nu(0)=1, nu(1)=2, nu(2)=5, nu(3)=12+2q, nu(4)=29+9q+5q^2, nu(5)=70+32q+24q^2+14q^3+2q^4, so the coefficients of q^3 are 0,0,0,0,0,14.
		

Crossrefs

Coefficients of q^0, q^1 and q^2 are in A000129, A074084 and A074085. Related sequences with other values of b and lambda are in A074082-A074083 and A074087-A074089.

Programs

  • Mathematica
    b=2; lambda=1; expon=3; nu[0]=1; nu[1]=b; nu[n_] := nu[n]=Together[b*nu[n-1]+lambda(1-q^(n-1))/(1-q)nu[n-2]]; a[n_] := Coefficient[nu[n], q, expon]
