COMMENTS

b(n)^2 - 42*(2*a(n))^2 = +1 with b(n):=A097308(n) gives all nonnegative integer solutions of this D:=42*4=168 Pell equation.

For positive n, a(n) equals the permanent of the nXn tridiagonal matrix with 26's along the main diagonal, and i's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal (i is the imaginary unit). [From John M. Campbell, Jul 08 2011]

FORMULA

a(n)= S(n, 26) = U(n, 13), n>=-1, with Chebyshev polynomials of 2nd kind. See A049310 for the triangle of S(n, x) coefficients. S(-1, x) := 0 =: U(-1, x).

a(n)= ((13+2*sqrt(42))^n - (13-2*sqrt(42))^n)/(4*sqrt(42)), (Binet form).

a(n)= sum(((-1)^k)*binomial(n-k, k)*26^(n-2*k), k=0..floor(n/2)).

G.f.: 1/(1-26*x+x^2).

a(n)=26*a(n-1)-a(n-2), a(-1)=0, a(0)=1. [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 18 2008]

a(n) = Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} A101950(n,k)*25^k. - DELEHAM Philippe, Feb 10 2012
