Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

FORMULA
a(n) = 47*a(n-1) - a(n-2), n>1. a(0)=1, a(1)=48.
G.f.: (1+x)/(1-47*x+x^2).
From Peter Bala, Mar 23 2015: (Start)
a(n) = A004187(2*n + 1); a(n) = A099483(4*n + 1).
a(n) = ( Fibonacci(8*n + 8 - 2*k) + Fibonacci(8*n + 2*k) )/( Fibonacci(8 - 2*k) + Fibonacci(2*k) ), for k an arbitrary integer.
a(n) = ( Fibonacci(8*n + 8 - 2*k - 1) - Fibonacci(8*n + 2*k + 1) )/( Fibonacci(8 - 2*k - 1) - Fibonacci(2*k + 1) ), for k an arbitrary integer.
The aerated sequence (b(n))n>=1 = [1, 0, 48, 0, 2255, 0, 105937, 0, ...] is a fourth-order linear divisibility sequence; that is, if n | m then b(n) | b(m). It is the case P1 = 0, P2 = -45, Q = -1 of the 3-parameter family of divisibility sequences found by Williams and Guy. See A100047 for the connection with Chebyshev polynomials. (End)
