G. C. Greubel, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000 (terms 0..164 from Vincenzo Librandi)
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (4,4).
FORMULA
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) + 4*a(n-2) for n > 1; a(0) = 1, a(1) = 18.
G.f.: (1+14*x)/(1-4*x-4*x^2).
E.g.f.: exp(2*x)*( cosh(2*sqrt(2)*x) + 4*sqrt(2)*sinh(2*sqrt(2)*x) ). - G. C. Greubel, Aug 11 2017
