COMMENTS

Chebyshev T-sequence with Diophantine property.

a(n) = L(n,14), where L is defined as in A108299; see also A028230 for L(n,-14). - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Jun 01 2005

Numbers x satisfying x^2 + y^3 = (y+1)^3. Corresponding y given by A001921(n)={A028230(n)-1}/2. - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), Jul 21 2006

Mod[ a(n), 12 ] = 1. (a(n) - 1)/12 = A076139(n) = Triangular numbers that are one-third of another triangular number. (a(n) - 1)/4 = A076140(n) = Triangular numbers T(k) that are three times another triangular number. - Alexander Adamchuk (alex(AT)kolmogorov.com), Apr 06 2007

Also numbers n such that RootMeanSquare(1,3,...,2*n-1) is an integer. [From Ctibor O. ZIZKA (c.zizka(AT)email.cz), Sep 04 2008]

a(n), with n>1, is the length of the cevian of equilateral triangle whose side length is the term b(n) of the sequence A028230. This cevian divides the side (2*x+1) of the triangle in two integer segments x and x+1. [From Giacomo Fecondo (jackfertile(AT)alice.it), Oct 09 2010]

For n>=2, a(n) equals the permanent of the (2n-2)X(2n-2) tridiagonal matrix with sqrt(12)'s along the main diagonal, and 1's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal. [From John M. Campbell, Jul 08 2011]

FORMULA

a(n) = ((2 + sqrt(3))^(2*n - 1) + (2 - sqrt(3))^(2*n - 1)) / 4. - Michael Somos Feb 15 2011

G.f.: x * (1 - x) / (1 -14*x + x^2). - Michael Somos Feb 15 2011

Let q(n, x)=sum(i=0, n, x^(n-i)*binomial(2*n-i, i)) then a(n)=q(n, 12). - Benoit Cloitre, Dec 10, 2002

a(n) = S(n, 14) - S(n-1, 14) = T(2*n+1, 2)/2 with S(n, x) := U(n, x/2), resp. T(n, x), Chebyshev's polynomials of the second, resp. first, kind. See A049310 and A053120. S(-1, x)=0, S(n, 14)=A007655(n+1) and T(n, 2)=A001075(n).

4*a(n)^2 - 3*b(n)^2 = 1 with b(n)=A028230(n+1), n>=0.

a(n)a(n+3) = 168 + a(n+1)a(n+2). - R. Stephan, May 29 2004

a(n) = 14*a(n-1) - a(n-2), a(0) = a(1) = 1. a(1 - n) = a(n) (compare A122571).

a(n) = 12*A076139(n) + 1 = 4*A076140(n) + 1. - Alexander Adamchuk (alex(AT)kolmogorov.com), Apr 06 2007

a(n)=(1/12)*((7-4*Sqrt[3])^n*(3-2*Sqrt[3])+(3+2*Sqrt[3])*(7+4*Sqrt[3])^n -6). - Zak Seidov (zakseidov(AT)yahoo.com), May 06 2007

a(n)=A102871(n)^2+(A102871(n)-1)^2; sum of consecutive squares. E.g. a(4)=36^2+35^2 - Mason Withers (mwithers(AT)semprautilities.com), Jan 26 2008
