FORMULA
a(n)= 2*(T(n, 19/2)-(-1)^n)/21, with twice Chebyshev's polynomials of the first kind evaluated at x=19/2: 2*T(n, 19/2)=A078369(n)= ((19+sqrt(357))^n + (19-sqrt(357))^n)/2^n.
a(n)= 19*a(n-1)-a(n-2)+2*(-1)^(n+1), n>=2, a(0)=0, a(1)=1.
a(n)= 18*a(n-1) + 18*a(n-2) - a(n-3), n>=3, a(0)=0, a(1)=1, a(2)=17.
G.f.: x*(1-x)/((1+x)*(1-19*x+x^2)) = x*(1-x)/(1-18*x-18*x^2+x^3) (from the Stephan link, see A092184).
