COMMENTS

b(n+1)^2 - 14*(4*a(n))^2 = +1, n>=-1, with b(n)=A068203(n) gives all nonnegative integer solutions of this D=224 Pell equation.

For positive n, a(n) equals the permanent of the nXn tridiagonal matrix with 30's along the main diagonal, and i's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal (i is the imaginary unit). - John M. Campbell, Jul 08 2011

About first comment, more generally, for t(m)=m+sqrt(m^2-1) and u(n)=(t(m)^(n+1)-1/t(m)^(n+1))/(t(m)-1/t(m)), we can verify that ((u(n+1)-u(n-1))/2)^2-(m^2-1)*u(n)^2=1. In this case is m=15. - Bruno Berselli, Nov 21 2011

FORMULA

a(n)= S(n, 30) = U(n, 15), 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).

G.f.: 1/(1-30*x+x^2).

a(n)= ((15+4*sqrt(14))^(n+1) - (15-4*sqrt(14))^(n+1))/(8*sqrt(14)) (Binet form).

a(n) = sqrt((A068203(n+1)^2 - 1)/224), n>=-1.

a(n) = 30*a(n-1)-a(n-2) for n>0; a(-1)=0, a(0)=1. - Philippe DELEHAM, Nov 18 2008

a(n) = Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} A101950(n,k)*29^k. - DELEHAM Philippe, Feb 10 2012
