Kenny Lau, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..706
Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (26).
FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A097805(n,k)*(-1)^(n-k)*27^k. - Philippe Deléham, Dec 04 2009
a(0) = 1; for n>0, a(n) = 27*26^(n-1). - Vincenzo Librandi, Dec 05 2009
E.g.f.: (27*exp(26*x) - 1)/26. - G. C. Greubel, Sep 25 2019
MAPLE
k:=27; seq(`if`(n=0, 1, k*(k-1)^(n-1)), n = 0..25); # G. C. Greubel, Sep 25 2019
MATHEMATICA
