FORMULA

a(n)= T(n+1, 2)+2*T(n, 2), with T(n, x) Chebyshev's polynomials of the first kind, A053120. T(n, 2)= A001075(n).

G.f.: (4-5*x)/(1-4*x+x^2).

a(n)=4*a(n-1)-a(n-2) with a(0)=4 and a(1)=11. [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 16 2008]

a(n)=-(1/2)*sqrt(3)*[2-sqrt(3)]^n+(1/2)*sqrt(3)*[2+sqrt(3)]^n+2*[2-sqrt(3)]^n+2*[2 +sqrt(3)]^n, with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Nov 20 2008]

a(n)=((4+sqrt3)(2+sqrt3)^n+(4-sqrt3)(2-sqrt3)^n)/2. Offset 0. a(n)=second binomial transform of 4,3,12,9,36. [From Al Hakanson (hawkuu(AT)gmail.com), Jul 06 2009]

EXAMPLE

11 = a(1) = sqrt(3*A054491(1)^2 + 13) = sqrt(3*6^2 + 13)= sqrt(121) = 11.
