FORMULA

a(n) = 14*a(n-1) - a(n-2) + 6; g.f.: x*(1+5*x)/((1-x)*(1-14*x+x^2)) - Warut Roonguthai (warut822(AT)yahoo.com) Jan 05 2001

a(n+1)=7*a(n)+3+2*(12*a(n)^2+12*a(n)+1)^0.5 - Richard Choulet (richardchoulet(AT)yahoo.fr), Sep 19 2007

a(n)=-(1/2)+(1/12)*sqrt(3)*{[7-4*sqrt(3)]^n-[7+4*sqrt(3)]^n}+(1/4)*{[7+4*sqrt(3)]^n+[7-4*sqrt(3)]^n }, with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Nov 25 2008]

a(n+1)=15*a(n)-15*a(n-1)+ a(n-2) with a(1)=1, a(2)=20, a(3)=285. - Sture Sjostedt (sture.sjostedt(AT)spray.se), May 29 2009
