For n>=2, a(n) equals the permanent of the (n-1)X(n-1) tridiagonal matrix with 13's along the main diagonal and 1's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal. [From John M. Campbell, Jul 08 2011]

FORMULA

O.g.f.: x/(1-13*x-x^2).

a(n)=13*a(n-1)+a(n-2).

a(n-r)*a(n+r)-a(n)^2=(-1)^(n+1-r)*a(r)^2.

a(n)=sum_{i=0..floor((n-1)/2)} binomial(n,2i+1)*13^(n-1-2*i)*(13^2+4)^i/2^(n-1).

a(n)=((13+sqrt(173))^n-(13-sqrt(173))^n)/(2^n*sqrt(173)). [From Al Hakanson (hawkuu(AT)gmail.com), Jan 12 2009]

Contribution from Johannes W. Meijer, Jun 12 2010: (Start)

a(2*n) = 13*A097844(n), a(2*n+1) = A098244(n).

a(3*n+1) = A041319(5*n), a(3*n+2) = A041319(5*n+3), a(3*n+3) = 2*A041319(5*n+4).

Limit(a(n+k)/a(k), k=infinity) = (A088316(n) + A140455(n)*sqrt(173))/2.

Limit(A088316(n)/ A140455(n), n=infinity) = sqrt(173).
