FORMULA

a(n)= ((-1)^n)*S(2*n, 21*I) with the imaginary unit I and the S(n, x)=U(n, x/2) Chebyshev polynomials.

G.f.: (1-x)/(1-443*x+x^2).

a(n)= S(n, 443) - S(n-1, 443) = T(2*n+1, sqrt(445)/2)/(sqrt(445)/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)=443*a(n-1)-a(n-2),n>1 ; a(0)=1, a(1)=442 . [From Philippe DELEHAM, Nov 18 2008]

EXAMPLE

All positive solutions of Pell equation x^2 - 445*y^2 = -4 are

(21=21*1,1), (9324=21*444,442), (4130511=21*196691,195805),

(1829807049=21*87133669,86741173), ...
