Formula

a(n) = ((-1)^n)*S(2*n, 5*i) with the imaginary unit i and the S(n, x) = U(n, x/2) Chebyshev polynomials.

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

a(n) = S(n, 27) - S(n-1, 27) = T(2*n+1, sqrt(29)/2)/(sqrt(29)/2), with S(n, x) = U(n, x/2) Chebyshev's polynomials of the second kind, A049310. S(-1, x) = 0 = U(-1, x) and T(n, x) Chebyshev's polynomials of the first kind, A053120.

a(n) = 27*a(n-1) - a(n-2), a(0)=1, a(1)=26. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 18 2008
