%N Denominators of continued fraction convergents to sqrt(624).
%C The following remarks assume an offset of 1. This is the sequence of Lehmer numbers U_n(sqrt(R),Q) for the parameters R = 48 and Q = -1; it is a strong divisibility sequence, that is, gcd(a(n),a(m)) = a(gcd(n,m)) for all positive integers n and m. Consequently, this is a divisibility sequence: if n divides m then a(n) divides a(m). - _Peter Bala_, May 27 2014

%F From _Peter Bala_, May 27 2014: (Start)
%F The following remarks assume an offset of 1.
%F Let alpha = sqrt(12) + sqrt(13) and beta = sqrt(12) - sqrt(13) be the roots of the equation x^2 - sqrt(48)*x - 1 = 0. Then a(n) = (alpha^n - beta^n)/(alpha - beta) for n odd, while a(n) = (alpha^n - beta^n)/(alpha^2 - beta^2) for n even.
%F a(n) = Product_{k = 1..floor((n-1)/2)} ( 48 + 4*cos^2(k*Pi/n) ).
%F Recurrence equations: a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1 and for n >= 1, a(2*n) = a(2*n - 1) + a(2*n - 2) and a(2*n + 1) = 48*a(2*n) + a(2*n - 1). (End)
