COMMENTS

3*a(n)^2 - 5*b(n)^2 = 7, with the companion sequence b(n)= A077245(n).

The odd part is A077244(n) with Diophantine companion A077243(n).

FORMULA

a(n)= 8*a(n-1) - a(n-2), a(-1) := 3, a(0)=2.

a(n)= (T(n+1, 4)+2*T(n, 4))/3, with T(n, x) Chebyshev's polynomials of the first kind, A053120. T(n, 4)= A001091(n).

G.f.: (2-3*x)/(1-8*x+x^2).

a(n)=[4-sqrt(15)]^n-(1/6)*[4-sqrt(15)]^n*sqrt(15)+[4+sqrt(15)]^n+(1/6)*sqrt(15)*[4 +sqrt(15)]^n, with n>=0 - Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Jul 08 2008

EXAMPLE

13 = a(1) = sqrt((5*A077245(1)^2 + 7)/3) = sqrt((5*10^2 + 7)/3) = sqrt(169) = 13.
