COMMENTS

-3*a(n)^2 + b(n)^2 = 13, with the companion sequence b(n)= A077235(n).

The even part is A054491(n) with Diophantine companion A077236(n).

FORMULA

a(n)= 2*S(n, 4)+S(n-1, 4), with S(n, x) := U(n, x/2), Chebyshev polynomials of 2nd kind, A049310. S(-1, x) := 0 and S(n, 4)= A001353(n+1).

G.f.: (2+x)/(1-4*x+x^2).

a(n)=4*a(n-1)-a(n-2) with a(0)=2 and a(1)=9. [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 16 2008]

a(n)=-(5/6)*sqrt(3)*[2-sqrt(3)]^n+(5/6)*sqrt(3)*[2+sqrt(3)]^n+[2-sqrt(3)]^n+[2+sqrt(3)]^n, with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Nov 20 2008]

EXAMPLE

3*a(1)^2 + 13 = 3*81+13 = 256 = 16^2 = A077235(1)^2.
