Bisection of A048654. - Lambert Klasen (lambert.klasen(AT)gmx.de), Nov 24 2004

A Pellian-related sequence.

a(n)={9*([3+2*sqrt(2)]^n -[3-2*sqrt(2)]^n)-([3+2*sqrt(2)]^(n-1) - [3-2*sqrt(2)]^(n-1))}/(4*sqrt(2)).

FORMULA

A038761 = sqrt{2*(A038762)^2-14}/2.

For n>1, a(n)-4a(n-1)=A001541(n)-A001542(n-2); e.g. 309-4*53=97=99-2 - Charlie Marion (charliem(AT)bestweb.net), Nov 12 2003

For n>0, a(n)=A046090(n)+A001653(n)+A001652(n-1)=A055997(n+1)+A001652(n-1); e.g., 309=120+169+20 - Charlie Marion (charliemath(AT)optonline.net), Oct 11 2006
