%F G.f.: -(x^2-2*x-1) / ((x^2-8*x+1)*(x^2+8*x+1)). - _Colin Barker_, Nov 17 2013

%F From _Gerry Martens_, Jul 11 2015: (Start)

%F Interspersion of 2 sequences [a0(n-1),a1(n-1)] for n>0:

%F a0(n) = sqrt(2+(31-8*sqrt(15))^(2*n+1)+(31+8*sqrt(15))^(2*n+1))/8.

%F a1(n) = 2*sum(i=0,n,a0(i)). (End)

%t Denominator[Convergents[Sqrt[240], 30]] (* _Vincenzo Librandi_, Dec 18 2013 *)

%t a0[n_] := Sqrt[2+(31-8*Sqrt[15])^(1+2*n)+(31+8*Sqrt[15])^(1+2*n)]/8 // Simplify

%t a1[n_] := 2*Sum[a0[i], {i, 0, n}]

%t Flatten[MapIndexed[{a0[#-1],a1[#-1]}&,Range[11]]] (* _Gerry Martens_, Jul 10 2015 *)
