FORMULA

a(n) = prod(k=1..(n-1)/2, 5 + 4*cos(k*Pi/n)^2 ).

a(n) = +7*a(n-2) -1*a(n-4). G.f.: (x^4 - x^3 - 6*x^2 + x + 1)/((x^2 - 3*x + 1)*(x^2 + 3*x + 1)). [Joerg Arndt, Jan 24 2013]

MATHEMATICA

a = Table[Product[5 + 4*Cos[k*Pi/n]^2, {k, 1, (n - 1)/2}], {n, 0, 10}]; FullSimplify[ExpandAll[a]]

Denominator[NestList[(5/(5+#))&, 0, 60]] (* Vladimir Joseph Stephan Orlovsky, Apr 13 2010 *)
