COMMENTS

Also, numbers simultaneously octagonal and centered octagonal. - Steven Schlicker (schlicks(AT)gvsu.edu), Apr 24 2007
As n increases, this sequence is approximately geometric with common ratio r = lim(n -> Infinity, a(n)/a(n-1)) = ( 2 + sqrt(3))^4 = 97 + 56 * sqrt(3). - Ant King, Nov 15 2011

FORMULA
|
Let x(n) + y(n)*sqrt(48) = (8+sqrt(48))*(7+sqrt(48))^n, s(n) = (y(n)+1)/2; then a(n) = (1/2)*(2+8*(s(n)^2-s(n))) - Steven Schlicker (schlicks(AT)gvsu.edu), Apr 24 2007
a(n+2)=194*a(n+1)-a(n)+32 and also a(n+1)=97*a(n)+56*(3*a(n)^2+a(n))^0.5. - Richard Choulet, Sep 26 2007
G.f.: x(x^2+30x+1)/((1-x)(1-194x+x^2)).
a(n)=-(1/6)+(7/12)*{[97-56*sqrt(3)]^n+[97+56*sqrt(3)]^n}-(1/3)*sqrt(3)*{[97-56*sqrt(3)]^n -[97+56*sqrt(3)]^n}, with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava, Nov 25 2008]
From Ant King, Nov 15 2011: (Start)
a(n) = 1/12 * ((2 + sqrt(3)) ^ (4n-2) + (2 - sqrt(3)) ^ (4n-2) - 2).
a(n) = floor (1/12 * (2 + sqrt(3)) ^ (4n-2)).
a(n) = 1/12 * ( (tan(5*pi/12)) ^ (4n-2) + (tan(pi/12)) ^ (4n-2) -2).
a(n) = floor (1/12 * tan(5*pi/12) ^ (4n-2)).
