%N Scaled Chebyshev U-polynomials evaluated at sqrt(2).
%C From _Kival Ngaokrajang_, Dec 14 2014 (Start):
%C -2*a(n-1) is the irrational part of the integer in Q(sqrt 2) giving the length of a Levy C-curve variant L(n)=(2*(2- sqrt 2))^n at iteration step n. The length of this C-curve is an integer in the real quadratic number field Q(sqrt 2), namely L(n) = A(n)+B(n)*sqrt(2) with A(n) = A084130(n) and B(n) = -2*a(n-1). See the construction rule and the illustration in the links.
%C The fractal dimension of the Levy C-curve is 2, but for this modified case it is log(4)/log(2 + sqrt 2) = 1.1289527...
%C (End)
%C For lim_{n->oo} a(n+1)/a(n) = 2*(2 + sqrt(2)) = 6.82842... see A365823. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Nov 15 2023
