For the corresponding y = y2 terms see 2*A038725(n+1).
The Pell equation x^2 - 2*y^2 = 7 has two classes of solutions. See, e.g., the Nagell reference and comments under A254938 and A255233. Here the positive solutions based on the fundamental solution (5, 4) (the second largest positive solution) are considered.
The positive solutions of the first class are given in (A054490(n), 2*A038723(n)), n >= 0.
The combined solutions of both classes are given in (A077446, 4*A077447).
The solutions (x(n), y(n)) of x^2 - 2*y^2 = -7 translate to the solutions (X(n), Y(n)) = (2*y(n) , x(n)) of the Pell equation X^2 - 2*Y^2 = 14.

FORMULA
|
a(n) = 5*S(n, 6) + S(n-1, 6), n >= 0, with the Chebyshev polynomials S(n, x) (A049310), with S(-1, x) = 0, evaluated at x = 6. S(n, 6) = A001109(n-1).
G.f.: (5 + x)/(1 - 6*x + x^2).
a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - a(n-2), n >= 2, with a(-1) = -1 and a(0) = 5.
a(n) = ((3-2*sqrt(2))^n*(-8+5*sqrt(2)) + (3+2*sqrt(2))^n*(8+5*sqrt(2))) / (2*sqrt(2)). - Colin Barker, Oct 13 2015
