COMMENTS

-5*a(n)^2 + 3* b(n)^2 = 7, with the companion sequence b(n)= A077244(n).

The even part is A077245(n) with Diophantine companion A077246(n).

FORMULA

a(n)= 8*a(n-1) - a(n-2), a(-1)=-1, a(0)=2.

a(n)= 2*S(n, 8)+S(n-1, 8), with S(n, x) := U(n, x/2), Chebyshev polynomials of 2nd kind, A049310. S(n, 8)= A001090(n+1).

G.f.: (2+x)/(1-8*x+x^2).

a(n)=[4-sqrt(15)]^n-(3/10)*[4-sqrt(15)]^n*sqrt(15)+[4+sqrt(15)]^n+(3/10)*sqrt(15)*[4 +sqrt(15)]^n, with n>=0 - Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Jul 08 2008

EXAMPLE

5*a(1)^2 + 7 = 5*17^2+7 = 1452 = 3*22^2 = 3*A077244(1)^2.
