FORMULA

a(n) = 34a(n-1)-a(n-2)+16 = A002315(n)^2 = 2*A001653(n)^2-1 = 2*A008844(n)-1 = [A046176(n)*sqrt(2) ] = 6*A055792(n+1)-a(n-1)+4 = (6*A055792(n+2)+a(n-1)-20)/35. -Henry Bottomley (se16(AT)btinternet.com), Nov 13 2001

a(n) = sum(k=1, 2*n+1, 2^(k-1)*binomial(4*n+2, 2*k) ). - Zoltan Zachar (zachar(AT)fellner.sulinet.hu), Oct 03 2003

O.g.f.: = -(1+14*x+x^2)/((-1+x)*(1-34*x+x^2)) . - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Nov 23 2007

a(n)=-1/2+(1/2)*sqrt(2)*[17+12*sqrt(2)]^n+(3/4)*[17-12*sqrt(2)]^n-(1/2)*[17-12*sqrt(2)]^n *sqrt(2)+(3/4)*[17+12*sqrt(2)]^n, with n>=0 - Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Jun 17 2008
