This sequence is also the union of the three sequences defined by:

a(3n-2) = ((10 - sqrt(10)) * (3 + sqrt(10))^(4*n-3) - (10 + sqrt(10)) * (-3 + sqrt(10))^(4*n-3))^2 / 1600.

a(3n-1) = 9/160 * ((3 + sqrt(10))^(4*n-2) - (-3 + sqrt(10))^(4*n-2))^2.

a(3n) = ((20 - 7*sqrt(10)) * (3 + sqrt(10))^(4*n) + (20 + 7*sqrt(10)) * (-3 + sqrt(10))^(4*n))^2 / 1600.

Equivalent short forms for these subsequences are:

a(3n-2) = floor((10 - sqrt(10))^2 * (3 + sqrt(10))^(8*n - 6) / 1600).

a(3n-1) = floor( 9/160 * (3 + sqrt(10))^(8*n - 4)).

a(3n) = floor((20 - 7*sqrt(10))^ 2 * (3 + sqrt(10))^(8*n) / 1600).

Also heptagonal numbers (A000566) which are also centered octagonal numbers (A016754). - Colin Barker, Jan 19 2015

With the first values, for n>=0, a(n+9) = 2079363*(a(n+6) - a(n+3)) + a(n).

On every bisection modulo 2: a(n+1) = 1039681*a(n) + 116964 + 164388*sqrt(40*a(n)^2 + 9*a(n)).

On every bisection modulo 2: a(n+2) = 2079362*a(n+1) - a(n) + 233928. (End)

From Ant King, Nov 11 2011: (Start)

a(n) = a(n-1) + 2079362*a(n-3) - 2079362*a(n-4) - a(n-6) + a(n-7).

a(n) = 2079362*a(n-3) - a(n-6) + 233928.

Define the three sequences

b(n) = 1442*b(n-1) - b(n-2) for n >= 2, with b(0) = -77, b(1) = 1;

c(n) = 1442*c(n-1) - c(n-2) for n >= 2, with c(0) = -9, c(1) = 9; and

d(n) = 1442*d(n-1) - d(n-2) for n >= 2, with d(0) = -1, d(1) = 77.

Then, for n >= 1,

a(3n - 2) = b(n)^2,

a(3n - 1) = c(n)^2, and

a(3n) = d(n)^2.
