COMMENTS

As n increases, this sequence is approximately geometric with common ratio r = lim(n->Infinity,a(n)/a(n-1)) = (sqrt(6)+sqrt(7))^4 = 337+52*sqrt(42).  - Ant King, Jan 03 2012

FORMULA

G.f. -x*(1-250*x+9*x^2) / ( (x-1)*(x^2-674*x+1) ). - R. J. Mathar, Dec 21 2011

Contribution from Ant King, Jan 03 2012: (Start)

a(n) = 674*a(n-1)-a(n-2)-240.

a(n) = 1/84*((sqrt(6)+3*sqrt(7))*(sqrt(6)+sqrt(7))^(4n-3)+ (sqrt(6)-3*sqrt(7))*(sqrt(6)-sqrt(7))^(4n-3)+30).

a(n) = ceiling(1/84*(sqrt(6)+3*sqrt(7))*(sqrt(6)+sqrt(7))^(4n-3)). (End)
