%N a(n) = 19*a(n-1) - 41*a(n-2) + 19*a(n-3) - a(n-4).

%C This is a divisibility sequence; that is, if n divides m, then a(n) divides a(m).

%C A003733 = 5 * (A143699)^2. - _R. K. Guy_, Mar 11 2010

%C The sequence is the case P1 = 19, P2 = 39, Q = 1 of the 3 parameter family of 4th-order linear divisibility sequences found by Williams and Guy. - _Peter Bala_, Apr 03 2014

%F Equals sqrt(A003733(n)/5).

%F a(n) = (r1^n + r2^n - r3^n - r4^n) / s1 where s1 = sqrt(205), s2 = sqrt(550 + 38*s1), s3 = 36 * sqrt(5) / s2, r1 = (19 + s1 + s2) / 4, r2 = 1/r1, r3 = (19 - s1 + s3) / 4, r4 = 1/r3. - _Michael Somos_, Feb 12 2012

%F From _Peter Bala_, Apr 03 2014: (Start)

%F a(n) = ( T(n,alpha) - T(n,beta) )/(alpha - beta), n >= 1, where alpha = (1/4)*(19 + sqrt(205)), beta = (1/4)*(19 - sqrt(205)) and where T(n,x) denotes the Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind.

%F a(n)= U(n-1, (sqrt(5) - 9)/4)*U(n-1, -(sqrt(5) + 9)/4) for n >= 1, where U(n,x) denotes the Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind.

%F a(n) = the bottom left entry of the 2 X 2 matrix T(n, M), where M is the 2 X 2 matrix [0, -39/4; 1, 19/2]. See the remarks in A100047 for the general connection between Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind and 4th-order linear divisibility sequences. (End)
