COMMENTS
| a(n) gives the general (positive integer) solution of the Pell equation b^2 - 285*a^2 =+4 with companion sequence b(n)=A078367(n+1), n>=0.
This is the m=19 member of the m-family of sequences S(n,m-2) = S(2*n+1,sqrt(m))/sqrt(m). The m=4..18 (nonnegative) sequences are: A000027, A001906, A001353, A004254, A001109, A004187, A001090, A018913, A004189, A004190, A004191, A078362, A007655, A078364 and A077412. The m=1..3 (signed) sequences are A049347, A056594, A010892.
For positive n, a(n) equals the permanent of the nXn tridiagonal matrix with 17's along the main diagonal, and i's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal (i is the imaginary unit). [From John M. Campbell, Jul 08 2011]

FORMULA
| a(n)=17*a(n-1)-a(n-2), n >= 1; a(-1)=0, a(0)=1.
a(n)=S(2*n+1, sqrt(19))/sqrt(19) = S(n, 17); S(n, x) := U(n, x/2), Chebyshev polynomials of the 2nd kind, A049310.
a(n)=(ap^(n+1)-am^(n+1))/(ap-am) with ap := (17+sqrt(285))/2 and am := (17-sqrt(285))/2.
G.f.: 1/(1-17*x+x^2).
a(n) = Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} A101950(n,k)*16^k. - DELEHAM Philippe, Feb 10 2012
