FORMULA
a(1)=378, a(2)=1303; a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-2) - 13^2 if n is odd, and a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-2) + 13^2 if n is even.
From R. J. Mathar, Mar 08 2009: (Start)
a(n) = (3362n - 1681 + 169*(-1)^n)/4.
G.f.: x*(14*x+27)*(27*x+14)/((1+x)*(x-1)^2). (End)
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = cot(378*Pi/1681)*Pi/1681. - Amiram Eldar, Feb 26 2023
EXAMPLE
378^2 + 1 == 0 (mod 41^2).
1303^2 + 1 == 0 (mod 41^2).
2059^2 + 1 == 0 (mod 41^2).
