%N Expansion of 1/(1 - 3*x + 4*x^2).

%C From Sharon Sela (sharonsela(AT)hotmail.com), Jan 22 2002: (Start)

%C a(n) is the determinant of the following tridiagonal n X n matrix:

%C [3 2 0 0 .... ]

%C [2 3 2 0 .... ]

%C [0 2 3 2 0 .. ]

%C [. 0 2 3 2 .. ]

%C [. . . . .... ]

%C [. . . 2 3 2 0]

%C [. . . 0 2 3 2]

%C [. . . 0 0 2 3]

%C (End)

%C With offset 1 (a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1) this is a divisibility sequence. - _R. K. Guy_, May 19 2015

%C With offset 1 (a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1), then this is the Lucas sequence U_n(P, Q) = U_n(3, 4). V_n(P, Q) = V_n(3, 4) = A247563(n). Again with offset 1 (a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1), then (A247563(n)/2)^2 + 7(a(n)/2)^2 = 4^n. This is a specific case of the Lucas sequence identity (V_n/2)^2 - D*(U_n/2)^2 = Q^n where V_n = (a^n + b^n), U_n = (a^n - b^n)/(a - b), Q = (a*b) = 4 and D = (a - b)^2 = -7; a = (3 + sqrt(-7))/2 and b = (3 - sqrt(-7))/2. - _Raphie Frank_, Dec 04 2015
