Comments

The identity (56*n^2 + 1)^2 - (784*n^2 + 28)*(2*n)^2 = 1 can be written as A158660(n)^2 - a(n)*A005843(n)^2 = 1.

Formula

G.f.: -28*(1 + 26*x + 29*x^2)/(x-1)^3.

a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3).

From Amiram Eldar, Mar 20 2023: (Start)

Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = (coth(Pi/(2*sqrt(7)))*Pi/(2*sqrt(7)) + 1)/56.

Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = (cosech(Pi/(2*sqrt(7)))*Pi/(2*sqrt(7)) + 1)/56. (End)
