COMMENTS

Contribution from Bruno Berselli, Nov 21 2011: (Start)

A Diophantine property of these numbers: ((a(n+1)-a(n-1))/2)^2 - 323*a(n)^2 = 1.

More generally, for t(m)=m+sqrt(m^2-1) and u(n)=(t(m)^n-1/t(m)^n)/(t(m)-1/t(m)), we can verify that ((u(n+1)-u(n-1))/2)^2-(m^2-1)*u(n)^2=1. (End)

FORMULA

Contribution from Bruno Berselli, Nov 21 2011: (Start)

G.f.: x/(1-36*+x^2).

a(n) = 36*a(n-1)-a(n-2) with a(1)=1, a(2)=36.

a(n) = (t^n-1/t^n)/(t-1/t) for t = 18+sqrt(323).

a(n) = sum((-1)^k*binomial(n-1-k, k)*36^(n-1-2k), k=0..floor(n/2)). (End)

a(n) = Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} A101950(n,k)*35^k. - DELEHAM Philippe, Feb 10 2012
