FORMULA

a(n) = 7*S(n-1, 7) - 2*S(n-2, 7) = S(n, 7) - S(n-2, 7) = 2*T(n, 7/2), with S(n, x) := U(n, x/2), S(-1, x) := 0, S(-2, x) := -1. U(n, x), resp. T(n, x), are Chebyshev's polynomials of the second, resp. first, kind. S(n-1, 7) = A004187(n), n>=0. See A049310 and A053120.

a(n)=((7+sqrt(45))/2)^n + ((7-sqrt(45))/2)^n.

G.f.: (2-7x)/(1-7x+x^2).

a(n)=A005248(2*n). Bisection of A005248.
