FORMULA

Equals A121867(n)^2 + A121868(n)^2.

From Gary W. Adamson, Jul 22 2011: (start) Sqrt(a(n)) = upper left term in M^n as to the modulus of a polar term; M = an infinite square production matrix in which a column of (i, i, i,...) is appended to the right of Pascal's triangle, as follows (with i = sqrt(-1)):

1, i, 0, 0, 0,...

1, 1, i, 0, 0,...

1, 2, 1, i, 0,...

1, 3, 3, 1, i,...

... (end)

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 61 = square of upper left term of M^4, = the square of (sqrt(61)Angle 140.194....), where the modulus is squared, getting 61.

MAPLE

#To generate a(n), enter a number for n. A121870a:= proc(a) local i, t: i:=1: t:=0: for i to 100 do t:=t+evalf((i^(a-1))*(I)^i/(i)!): od:RETURN(round(abs(t^2))): end: a:= A121870a(n); - Russell Walsmith (ixitol(AT)gmail.com), Apr 18 2008
