Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (3,-3,1).
FORMULA
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3).
G.f.: -(1 + 60*x + 63*x^2)/(x-1)^3.
From Amiram Eldar, Mar 21 2023: (Start)
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = (coth(Pi/sqrt(62))*Pi/sqrt(62) + 1)/2.
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = (cosech(Pi/sqrt(62))*Pi/sqrt(62) + 1)/2. (End)
