FORMULA

G.f.: x*(1-8*x)/(1-2*x+8*x^2) - T. D. Noe, Dec 11 2006

Contribution by Bruno Berselli, Jun 24-25 2011: (Start)

a(n) = (1/2)*((1+i*sqrt(7))^n+(1-i*sqrt(7))^n), where i=sqrt(-1).

a(n) = cos(n*arctan(sqrt(7)))*sqrt(8)^n.

a(n) = 2*a(n-1)-8*a(n-2) (n>2). (End)

MAPLE

a := proc(n) option remember: if(n=1)then return 1:elif(n=2)then return -6:fi: return 2*a(n-1)-8*a(n-2): end: seq(a(n), n=1..26); # Nathaniel Johnston, Jun 25 2011
