%N Denominators of continued fraction convergents to sqrt(783).

%C The following remarks assume an offset of 1. This is the sequence of Lehmer numbers U_n(sqrt(R),Q) for the parameters R = 54 and Q = -1; it is a strong divisibility sequence, that is, gcd(a(n),a(m)) = a(gcd(n,m)) for all positive integers n and m. Consequently, this is a divisibility sequence: if n divides m then a(n) divides a(m). - _Peter Bala_, May 27 2014

%F From _Peter Bala_, May 27 2014: (Start)

%F The following remarks assume an offset of 1.

%F Let alpha = ( sqrt(54) + sqrt(58) )/2 and beta = ( sqrt(54) - sqrt(58) )/2 be the roots of the equation x^2 - sqrt(54)*x - 1 = 0. Then a(n) = (alpha^n - beta^n)/(alpha - beta) for n odd, while a(n) = (alpha^n - beta^n)/(alpha^2 - beta^2) for n even.

%F a(n) = product {k = 1..floor((n-1)/2)} ( 54 + 4*cos^2(k*Pi/n) ).

%F Recurrence equations: a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1 and for n >= 1, a(2*n) = a(2*n - 1) + a(2*n - 2) and a(2*n + 1) = 54*a(2*n) + a(2*n - 1). (End)
