%C Working with an offset of 1, this sequence is a divisibility sequence, i.e., a(n) divides a(m) whenever n divides m. Case P1 = 3, P2 = 6, Q = 1 of the 3 parameter family of 4th-order linear divisibility sequences found by Williams and Guy. - _Peter Bala_, Mar 25 2014

%F From _Peter Bala_, Mar 25 2014: (Start)

%F The following formulas assume an offset of 1.

%F a(n) = (-1)*A001906(n)*A010892(n-1). Equivalently, a(n) = (-1)*U(n-1,1/2)*U(n-1,3/2), where U(n,x) denotes the Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind.

%F a(n) = (-1)*bottom left entry of the 2 X 2 matrix T(n, M), where M is the 2 X 2 matrix [0, -3/2; 1, 3/2] and T(n,x) denotes the Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind.

%F The ordinary generating function is the Hadamard product of -x/(1 - x + x^2) and x/(1 - 3*x + x^2).

%F See the remarks in A100047 for the general connection between Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind and 4th-order linear divisibility sequences. (End)
