a(n) gives the general (positive integer) solution of the Pell equation b^2 - 357*a^2 =+4 with companion sequence b(n)=A078369(n+1), n>=0.
This is the m=21 member of the m-family of sequences S(n,m-2) = S(2*n+1,sqrt(m))/sqrt(m). The m=4..20 (nonnegative) sequences are: A000027, A001906, A001353, A004254, A001109, A004187, A001090, A018913, A004189, A004190, A004191, A078362, A007655, A078364, A077412, A078366 and A049660. The m=1..3 (signed) sequences are A049347, A056594, A010892.
For positive n, a(n) equals the permanent of the n X n tridiagonal matrix with 19's along the main diagonal, and i's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal (i is the imaginary unit). - John M. Campbell, Jul 08 2011
For n>=2, a(n) equals the number of 01-avoiding words of length n-1 on alphabet {0,1,...,18}. Milan Janjic, Jan 25 2015

FORMULA
|
a(n) = 19*a(n-1)-a(n-2), n >= 1; a(-1)=0, a(0)=1.
a(n) = (ap^(n+1)-am^(n+1))/(ap-am) with ap = (19+sqrt(357))/2 and am = (19-sqrt(357))/2.
a(n) = S(2*n+1, sqrt(21))/sqrt(21) = S(n, 19); S(n, x) := U(n, x/2), Chebyshev polynomials of the 2nd kind, A049310.
G.f.: 1/(1-19*x+x^2).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A101950(n,k)*18^k. - Philippe Deléham, Feb 10 2012
Product {n >= 0} (1 + 1/a(n)) = 1/17*(17 + sqrt(357)). - Peter Bala, Dec 23 2012
Product {n >= 1} (1 - 1/a(n)) = 1/38*(17 + sqrt(357)). - Peter Bala, Dec 23 2012
