Find the sequence satisfying the recurrence relation $$n a_{n+1} = (n+1) a_n+n(n+1)$$ with the initial condition $a_0=0$.
I'm trying to find a solution for this recurrence relation. After dividing both sides by $n(n+1)$, we get:
$$frac{a_n+1}{n+1} =frac{a_n}{n} +1.$$
After setting $b_k=a_n/n$, the resulting relation is $b_{k+1} = b_k +1$.
$b_{k+2} = b_{k+1} +1$
by subtracting this relation from the one before it, I got :
$b_{k+2} -2*b_{k+1} +b_k = 0$
after that I replace $b_k = lambda^k$
I got :
$lambda^{k+2} -2*lambda^{k+1}+b_k$ and after dividing the relation by $lambda^k$ the result is $lambda^2 + lambda +1 = 0$
and the solution for the last relation is $lambda = 1$
but I stopped there because the initial Condition is
$a_0=0$ and I could't find the value of $a_1$.
can someone show me a proper way or a proper solution for this recurrence relation?

This is not a well-posed problem. In other words, given $a_0=0$, the value of $a_1$ can be any real number whatsoever since it must satisfy
$$
0 cdot a_1 = 1 cdot a_0 + 0 cdot 1,
$$
and both sides are $0$ for any value of $a_1$, so the equality holds. In other words, the specified conditions do not uniquely specify a sequence.

Given the value of $a_1$ you have $a_n = n(n-1) + na_1$ for all $n$. The recursion equation
$$n a_{n+1} = (n+1) a_n+n(n+1)tag{1}$$ for $n=0$ is just $a_0=0.$ In other words, you should start with initial condition for $a_1$ and then all other values of $a_n$ for $n>1$ are determined, and also $a_0=0.$
