FORMULA

a(n) = 38*a(n-1) - a(n-2), n>=1, a(-1)=0, a(0)=1.

a(n) = S(n, 38) with S(n, x) := U(n, x/2), Chebyshev's polynomials of the second kind. See A049310.

G.f.: 1/(1-38*x+x^2).

a(n)= sum((-1)^k*binomial(n-k, k)*38^(n-2*k), k=0..floor(n/2)).

a(n) = ((19+6*sqrt(10))^(n+1) - (19-6*sqrt(10))^(n+1))/(12*sqrt(10)).

a(n) = Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} A101950(n,k)*37^k. - DELEHAM Philippe, Feb 10 2012
