COMMENTS

A Pellian sequence.

In general, sum{k=0..n, binomial(2n-k,k)j^(n-k)}=(-1)^n*U(2n,I*sqrt(j)/2), I=sqrt(-1); - Paul Barry, Mar 13 2005

a(n) = L(n,9), where L is defined as in A108299; see also A057081 for L(n,-9). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 01 2005

Number of 01-avoiding words of length n on alphabet {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8} which do not end in 0. - Tanya Khovanova, Jan 10 2007

For positive n, a(n) equals the permanent of the (2n)X(2n) tridiagonal matrix with sqrt(7)'s along the main diagonal, and 1's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal. [From John M. Campbell, Jul 08 2011]

FORMULA

a(n) ~ 1/11*sqrt(11)*(1/2*(sqrt(11)+sqrt(7)))^(2*n+1)

Let q(n, x)=sum(i=0, n, x^(n-i)*binomial(2*n-i, i)); then q(n, 7)=a(n) - Benoit Cloitre, Nov 10 2002

a(n)a(n+3) = 63 + a(n+1)a(n+2). - R. Stephan, May 29 2004

a(n)=(-1)^n*U(2n, I*sqrt(7)/2), U(n, x) Chebyshev polynomial of second kind, I=sqrt(-1); - Paul Barry, Mar 13 2005

G.f.: (1-x)/1-9*x+x^2). [From Philippe DELEHAM, Nov 03 2008]

a(n)=(1/2)*[(9/2)+(1/2)*sqrt(77)]^(n+1)+(1/22)*[(9/2)-(1/2)*sqrt(77)]^(n+1)*sqrt(77)-(1/22)*[(9/2)+(1/2) *sqrt(77)]^(n+1)*sqrt(77)+(1/2)*[(9/2)-(1/2)*sqrt(77)]^(n+1), with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava, Nov 20 2008]
