%C For n >= 1, |a(n)| is the unique odd positive solution y to 4^(n+1) = 15*x^2 + y^2. The value of x is |A106853(n-1)|. - _Jianing Song_, Jan 22 2019

%F Let a(x) = x/2 - i*sqrt(15)*x/2 and b(x) = x/2 + i*sqrt(15)*x/2, then:

%F a(n) = a(1)^n + b(1)^n.

%F a(n) = n! [x^n] exp(a(x)) + exp(b(x)).

%F a(n) = [x^n] (2 - x)/(4*x^2 - x + 1).

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} (-4)^k*n*(n - k - 1)!/(k!*(n - 2*k)!) for n >= 1.
