Hi. If you don't actually need to generate a large list, here's another interesting idea:
Series[(-1-2 (-1+x) x)/(-1+x)^3,{x,0,10}] //Normal
1+x+2 x^2+4 x^3+7 x^4+11 x^5+16 x^6+22 x^7+29 x^8+37 x^9+46 x^10
If you just need the fifth item in the list, then with 11 x^5,
that list starts with 11, and has a length of 5.
ie. {11, 12, 13, 14, 15}
Another variation might be just the list of starting values, with the length based on it's position.
z=CoefficientList[Series[(-1+x-x^2)/(-1+x)^3,{x,0,10}],x]
{1,2,4,7,11,16,22,29,37,46,56}
(ie 6th item starts with 16, and has length 6. ie 16=8521)
The 1000th item starts with 499501.
Coefficient[Series[(-1-2 (-1+x) x)/(-1+x)^3,{x,0,1000}],x,1000] // Timing
{0.004363, 499501}
Just thought it interesting:
