COMMENTS

All positive integer solutions of Pell equation b(n)^2 - 725*a(n)^2 = +4 together with b(n)=A090248(n+1), n>=0. Note that D=725=29*5^2 is not squarefree.

For positive n, a(n) equals the permanent of the nXn tridiagonal matrix with 27'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, 27)=U(n, 27/2)= S(2*n+1, sqrt(29))/sqrt(29) with S(n, x)=U(n, x/2) Chebyshev's polynomials of the 2nd kind, A049310. S(-1, x)= 0 = U(-1, x).

a(n)=27*a(n-1)-a(n-2), n >= 1; a(0)=1, a(1)=27; a(-1)=0.

a(n)=(ap^(n+1) - am^(n+1))/(ap-am) with ap := (27+5*sqrt(29))/2 and am := (27-5*sqrt(29))/2.

G.f.: 1/(1-27*x+x^2).

a(n) = Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} A101950(n,k)*26^k. - DELEHAM Philippe, Feb 10 2012

EXAMPLE

(x,y) = (27;1), (727;27), (19602;728), ... give the positive integer solutions to x^2 - 29*(5*y)^2 =+4.
