FORMULA

a(2*n) = 1 for n >= 1. For n >= 1 we have
a(4*n - 3) = (sqrt(3) + sqrt(2))^(2*n) + (sqrt(3) - sqrt(2))^(2*n) - 2;
a(4*n - 1) = 1/sqrt(3)*{(sqrt(3) + sqrt(2))^(2*n + 1) + (sqrt(3) - sqrt(2))^(2*n + 1)} - 2.
O.g.f.: 2 + x^2/(1 - x^2) + 8*x*(1 + x^2)^2/(1 - 11*x^4 + 11*x^8 - x^12) = 2 + 8*x + x^2 + 16*x^3 + x^4 + 96*x^5 + ....
If we denote the present sequence by [2; 8, 1, c(3), 1, c(4), 1, ...] then for k >= 1 the sequence [1; c(2*k+1), 1, c(2*(2*k+1)), 1, c(3*(2*k+1)), 1, ...] gives the simple continued fraction expansion of product {n >= 0} [1-sqrt(3)*{(sqrt(3)-sqrt(2))^(2*k+1)}^(4*n+3)]/[1 - sqrt(3)*{(sqrt(3)-sqrt(2))^(2*k+1)}^(4*n+1)]. An example is given below.
O.g.f.: (x^10-2*x^8-10*x^6+20*x^4-8*x^3+x^2-8*x-2) / ((x-1)*(x+1)*(x^8-10*x^4+1)). - Colin Barker, Jan 10 2014

EXAMPLE

Product {n >= 0} {1 - sqrt(3)*(sqrt(3) - sqrt(2))^(4*n+3)}/{1 - sqrt(3)*(sqrt(3) - sqrt(2))^(4*n+1)} = 2.11180 16361 44098 52896 ...
= 2 + 1/(8 + 1/(1 + 1/(16 + 1/(1 + 1/(96 + 1/(1 + 1/(176 + ...))))))).
Since (sqrt(3) - sqrt(2))^3 = 9*sqrt(3) - 11*sqrt(2) we have the following simple continued fraction expansion:
product {n >= 0} {1 - sqrt(3)*(9*sqrt(3) - 11*sqrt(2))^(4*n+3)}/{1 - sqrt(3)*(9*sqrt(3) - 11*sqrt(2))^(4*n+1)} = 1 + 1/(16 + 1/(1 + 1/(968 + 1/(1 + 1/(17440 + 1/(1 + 1/(940896 + ...))))))).
