FORMULA

a(n) = 14*a(n-1) - a(n-2) - 2; g.f.: x*(1-3*x)/((1-x)*(1-14*x+x^2)) - Warut Roonguthai, Jan 05 2001

a(n+1)=7*a(n)-1+2*(12*a(n)^2-4*a(n)+1)^0.5 - Richard Choulet (richardchoulet(AT)yahoo.fr), Sep 19 2007

a(n)=(1/6)-(1/12)*sqrt(3)*{[7-4*sqrt(3)]^n-[7+4*sqrt(3)]^n}-(1/12)*{[7+4*sqrt(3)]^n+[7-4*sqrt(3)]^n }, with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava, Nov 25 2008]

a(n+1)=15*a(n)-15*a(n-1)+ a(n-2) a(1)=1,a(2)=12,a(3)=165 [From Sture Sjoestedt, May 29 2009]
