COMMENTS

Bisection (even part) of A041025.

(4*A078989(n))^2 - 17*a(n)^2 = -1 (Pell -1 equation, see A077232-3).

Starting with a(1), hypotenuses of primitive Pythagorean triples in A195619 and A195620. - Clark Kimberling, Sep 22 2011

FORMULA

G.f.: (1-x)/(1-66*x+x^2).

a(n)=T(2*n+1, sqrt(17))/sqrt(17) = ((-1)^n)*S(2*n, 8*i) = S(n, 66) - S(n-1, 66) with i^2=-1 and T(n, x), resp. S(n, x), Chebyshev's polynomials of the first, resp. second, kind. See A053120 and A049310.

a(n)= A041025(2*n).

a(n)=66*a(n-1)-a(n-2) for n>1 ; a(0)=1, a(1)=65. [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 18 2008]

EXAMPLE

(x,y) = (4,1), (268,65), (17684,4289), ... give the positive integer solutions to x^2 - 17*y^2 =-1.

CROSSREFS
