Tower Of Hanoi Time Calculation I have been trying this Towers of Hanoi question since last week but never able to come with the right approach towards the solution.

The setup is the standard Towers of Hanoi, except that moving the smallest disk costs one unit of time, moving the second-smallest disk takes two units of time and so on.

What is the total minimum time solving towerOfHanoi?
Starting from this system:

$$ \begin{cases} T(1) = 1 \\
 T(n) = 2T(n-1) + n \end{cases} $$

To use repertoire method to solve the system, we'll generalize it as this:

$$ \begin{cases} T(1) = \alpha \\
 T(n) = 2T(n-1) + \beta n + \gamma \end{cases} \tag 0 $$

The result must look like this:

$$ T(n) = A(n) \alpha + B(n) \beta + C(n) \gamma $$

I. Let's try T(n) = 1
$$ \begin{cases} T(1) = 1 = \alpha \\
 T(n) = 1 = 2T(n-1) + \beta n + \gamma = 2 \cdot 1 + \beta n + \gamma \end{cases}$$
Thus:
$$ (\alpha, \beta, \gamma) = (1, 0, -1) $$
Which means that 
$$ T(n) = A(n) - C(n) = 1  \tag 1 $$.

II. Now try T(n) = n
$$ \begin{cases} T(1) = 1 = \alpha \\
 T(n) = n = 2T(n-1) + \beta n + \gamma = 2n - 2 + \beta n + \gamma \end{cases}$$
Thus:
$$ (\alpha, \beta, \gamma) = (1, -1, 2) $$
Which means that 
$$ T(n) = A(n) - B(n) + 2 C(n) = n  \tag 2 $$.

III. Also, for $ (\alpha, \beta, \gamma) = (1, 0, 0) $:
$$\begin{cases} T(1) = 1 \\
T(n) = 2T(n-1) = 2^n \end{cases}$$
Which means that 
$$ T(n) = A(n) = 2^{n-1}  \tag 3$$.

From (1) and (3):
$$ 2^{n-1} - 1 = C(n) $$

Now from this equation and (2):
$$2^{n-1} - B(n) + 2 (2^{n-1} -1) = n$$
$$2^{n-1} - n + 2^n -2 = B(n) $$

Final result for $ (\alpha, \beta, \gamma) = (1, 1, 0) $:
$$ T(n) = A(n) + B(n) $$
$$ T(n) = 2^{n-1} + 2^{n-1} - n + 2^n -2 $$
$$ T(n) = 2^{n+1} - n - 2$$
