Formula
a(n) = 7*a(n-1) - 42*(n-1) + 1, with n > 0. For n=5, a(5) = 7*2430 - 42*4 + 1 = 16843. - Bruno Berselli, May 18 2010
From R. J. Mathar, May 22 2010: (Start)
a(n) = 9*a(n-1) - 15*a(n-2) + 7*a(n-3).
G.f.: (-2 + 3*x + 41*x^2) / ((7*x-1)*(x-1)^2). (End)
E.g.f.: exp(x)*(1 + exp(6*x) + 7*x). - Stefano Spezia, Aug 19 2024
