COMMENTS
The identity (34*n^2 - 1)^2 - (289*n^2 - 17)*(2*n)^2 = 1 can be written as a(n)^2 - A158587(n)*A005843(n)^2 = 1.

FORMULA
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3).
G.f.: x*(-33 - 36*x + x^2)/(x-1)^3.
From Amiram Eldar, Mar 14 2023: (Start)
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = (1 - cot(Pi/sqrt(34))*Pi/sqrt(34))/2.
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = (cosec(Pi/sqrt(34))*Pi/sqrt(34) - 1)/2. (End)
