COMMENTS

a(n-1) is, together with b(n) := A089508(n), n>=1, the solution to a binomial problem - see A089508.

Numbers k such that 1 - 2 x + 5 x^2 is a square [From Artur Jasinski (grafix(AT)csl.pl), Oct 26 2008]

Also solution y of diophantine equation x^2+y^2+y^2+y^2+y^2=k^2 for which x=y-1. [From Carmine Suriano (surianonoi5(AT)libero.it), Jun 23 2010]

FORMULA

a(n) = 8a(n-1)-8a(n-2)+a(n-3)

G.f.: (1-2*x)/((1-x)*(1-7*x+x^2)).

F(1) + F(5) + F(9) +...+ F(4n+1) = F(2n)*F(2n+3) + 1.

a(n)=(1/5)+(2/5)*{[(7/2)-(3/2)*sqrt(5)]^n+[(7/2)+(3/2)*sqrt(5)]^n+(1/5)*sqrt(5)*{[(7/2)+(3/2) *sqrt(5)]^n-[(7/2)-(3/2)*sqrt(5)]^n}, with n>=0 [From Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Dec 01 2008]
