FORMULA

a(n) = ((4+sqrt(2))/8)*(3+2*sqrt(2))^(n-1)+((4-sqrt(2))/8)*(3-2*sqrt(2))^(n-1). - Antonio A. Olivares (olivares14031(AT)yahoo.com), Mar 29 2008

a(n) = A001653(n+1) - A001109(n). - Antonio A. Olivares (olivares14031(AT)yahoo.com), Mar 29 2008

Sequence satisfies -7 = f(a(n), a(n+1)) where f(u, v) = u^2 + v^2 - 6*u*v. - Michael Somos Sep 28 2008

G.f.: (1 - 2*x) / (1 - 6*x + x^2). a(n) = (7 + a(n-1)^2) / a(n-2). - Michael Somos Sep 28 2008

MAPLE

a[0]:=1: a[1]:=4: for n from 2 to 26 do a[n]:=6*a[n-1]-a[n-2] od: seq(a[n], n=0..20); - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Jul 26 2006
