COMMENTS

Indices of square numbers which are also generalized pentagonal numbers.

If t(n) denotes the n-th triangular number, t(A105038(n))=a(n)*a(n+1). - Robert Phillips (bobanne(AT)bellsouth.net), May 25 2008

The n:th term is a(n)=((5+Sqrt(24))^n-(5-Sqrt(24))^n)/(2*Sqrt(24)) [From Sture Sjoestedt (sture.sjostedt(AT)spray.se), May 31 2009]

Number of units of a(n) belongs to a periodic sequence: 0, 1, 0, 9.We conclude that a(n) and a(n+4) have the same number of units. [From Mohamed Bouhamida (bhmd95(AT)yahoo.fr), Sep 05 2009]

For n>=2, a(n) equals the permanent of the (n-1)X(n-1) tridiagonal matrix with 10's along the main diagonal, and i's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal (i is the imaginary unit). [From John M. Campbell, Jul 08 2011]

FORMULA

a(n) = S(2*n-1, sqrt(12))/sqrt(12) = S(n-1, 10); S(n, x) := U(n, x/2), Chebyshev polynomials of 2nd kind, A049310. S(-1, x) := 0.

a(n)={[(5+2*sqrt(6))^n - (5-2*sqrt(6))^n]}/4*sqrt(6). G.f.(x)=x/(1-10*x+x^2). - Barry E. Williams, Aug 18 2000

G.f.: x/(1-10*x+x^2). a(-n)=-a(n). - Michael Somos Sep 05 2006

a(n) = 9*(a(n-1)+a(n-2))-a(n-3), a(n) = 11*(a(n-1)-a(n-2))+a(n-3). a(n)=10*a(n-1)-a(n-2). - Mohamed Bouhamida (bhmd95(AT)yahoo.fr), May 26 2007

a(n+1) = Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} A101950(n,k)*9^k. - DELEHAM Philippe, Feb 10 2012

EXAMPLE

a(2)=10 and (3(-8)^2-(-8))/2=10^2, a(3)=99 and (3(81)^2-(81))/2=99^2. - Michael Somos Sep 05 2006
