Example

a(0) = 0 because 19*0 + 81 = 9^2, a(1)=1 because 19*1 + 81 = 10^2.

Maple

a(0):=0:a(1):=1:a(2):=15:a(3):=24:a(4):=220:a(5):=351:a(6):=560: a(7):=5124: a(8):=8175:a(9):=74801:for n from 0 to 40 do a(n+10):=340*a(n+5)-a(n):od:seq(a(n), n=0..40);

Mathematica

a[0]=0; a[1]=a[-1]=1; a[2]=a[-2]=15; a[n_] := a[n] = 170*a[n-5]+39*Sqrt[19*a[n-5]^2+81]; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 25}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Dec 19 2013 *)
