COMMENTS
All positive integer solutions of Pell equation b(n)^2 - 837*a(n)^2 = +4 together with b(n)=A090251(n+1), n >= 0. Note that D=837=93*3^2 is not squarefree.
For positive n, a(n) equals the permanent of the n X n tridiagonal matrix with 29'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
For n >= 1, a(n) equals the number of 01-avoiding words of length n-1 on alphabet {0,1,...,28}. - Milan Janjic, Jan 26 2015

FORMULA
a(n) = S(n, 29) = U(n, 29/2) = S(2*n+1, sqrt(31))/sqrt(31) 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) = 29*a(n-1) - a(n-2), n >= 1; a(0)=1, a(1)=29; a(-1)=0.
a(n) = (ap^(n+1) - am^(n+1))/(ap-am) with ap = (29+3*sqrt(93))/2 and am = (29-3*sqrt(93))/2.
G.f.: 1/(1-29*x+x^2).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A101950(n,k)*28^k. - Philippe Deléham, Feb 10 2012
Product {n >= 0} (1 + 1/a(n)) = 1/9*(9 + sqrt(93)). - Peter Bala, Dec 23 2012
Product {n >= 1} (1 - 1/a(n)) = 3/58*(9 + sqrt(93)). - Peter Bala, Dec 23 2012
EXAMPLE
(x,y) = (29;1), (839;29), (24302,840), ..., give the positive integer solutions to x^2 - 93*(3*y)^2 =+4.
