COMMENTS

sqrt (a(n)^2 + (A139031(n))^2) = 5^n. Example: a(3) = -44, A139031(3) = 117. Sqrt (-44^2 + 117^2) = 5^3.

FORMULA

Real part of (4 + 3i)^n. Term (1,1) of [4,-3; 3,4]^n a(n), n>2 = 8*a(n-1) - 25*a(n-2), given a(1) = 4, a(2) = 7. Odd indexed terms of A066776 interleaved with even indexed terms of A066771, irrespective of sign.

a(n)=[2-(3/2)*I]*(4-3*I)^n+[2+(3/2)*I]*(4+3*I)^n, with n>=0 and I=sqrt(-1) - Paolo P. Lava (paoloplava(AT)gmail.com), Jul 08 2008

G.f. -x*(-4+25*x) / ( 1-8*x+25*x^2 ). - R. J. Mathar, Feb 05 2011

a(1)=4, a(2)=7, a(n)=8*a(n-1)-25*a(n-2) [From Harvey P. Dale, Nov 09 2011]

EXAMPLE

a(5) = -3116 since (4 + 3i)^5 = (-3116 - 237i) where -237 = A139031(5).
