COMMENTS

a(n)^2 - 8*b(n)^2 = 17, with the companion sequence b(n)= A054488(n).

The odd part is A077239(n) with Diophantine companion A077413(n).

Index entries for sequences related to Chebyshev polynomials.

FORMULA

a(n)= 6*a(n-1) - a(n-2), a(-1) := 7, a(0)=5.

a(n)= T(n+1, 3)+2*T(n, 3), with T(n, x) Chebyshev's polynomials of the first kind, A053120. T(n, 3)= A001541(n).

G.f.: (5-7*x)/(1-6*x+x^2).

EXAMPLE

23 = a(1) = sqrt(8*A054488(1)^2 + 17) = sqrt(8*8^2 + 17)= sqrt(529) = 23.
