A Chebyshev T-sequence with a Diophantine property.
a(n) gives the general (nonnegative integer) solution of the Pell equation a^2 - 93*(3*b)^2 =+4 with companion sequence b(n)=A097782(n+1), n>=0.

FORMULA
| a(n) =29a(n-1) - a(n-2), starting with a(0) = 2 and a(1) = 29. a(n) = ((29+sqrt(837))/2)^n + ((29-sqrt(837))/2)^n, (a(n))^2 =a(2n)+2.
a(n) = S(n, 29) - S(n-2, 29) = 2*T(n, 29/2) with S(n, x) := U(n, x/2), S(-1, x) := 0, S(-2, x) := -1. S(n, 27)=A097781(n). U-, resp. T-, are Chebyshev's polynomials of the second, resp. first, kind. See A049310 and A053120.
a(n) = ap^n + am^n, with ap := (29+3*sqrt(93))/2 and am := (29-3*sqrt(93))/2.
G.f.: (2-29*x)/(1-29*x+x^2).

EXAMPLE
| a(4) =703919 = 29a(3) - a(2) = 29*24302 - 839= ((29+sqrt(837))/2)^4 + ((29-sqrt(837))/2)^4 = 703918.99999857 + 0.00000142 =703919.
(x,y) = (2;0), (29;1), (839;29), (24302,840), ..., give the
nonnegative integer solutions to x^2 - 93*(3*y)^2 =+4.
