a(n) = 18*a(n-1) - a(n-2), with a(1) = denominator of continued fraction [2;4] and a(2) = denominator of [2;4,4,4].
This sequence gives the values of y in solutions of the Diophantine equation x^2 - 5*y^2 = 1, the third simplest case of the Pell-Fermat type. The corresponding x values are in A023039.
n such that 5*n^2=floor(sqrt(5)*n*ceil(sqrt(5)*n)). - Benoit Cloitre, May 10 2003

FORMULA

G.f.: 4x/(1-18*x+x^2). - Cino Hilliard, Feb 02 2006
a(n) may be computed either as i) the denominator of the (2n-1)-th convergent of the continued fraction [2;4, 4, 4, ...] = sqrt(5), or ii) as the coefficient of sqrt(5) in {9+sqrt(5)}^n.
n such that Mod(sigma(5*n^2+1), 2 ) = 1. - Mohammed Bouayoun (bouyao(AT)wanadoo.fr), Mar 26 2004
a(n)=4*A049660(n), a(n)=A000045(6*n)/2. - Benoit Cloitre, Feb 03 2006
a(n) = 17*(a(n-1)+a(n-2))-a(n-3), a(n) = 19*(a(n-1)-a(n-2))+a(n-3). - Mohamed Bouhamida (bhmd95(AT)yahoo.fr), Sep 20 2006
a(n)=-(1/10)*[9-4*sqrt(5)]^n*sqrt(5)+(1/10)*sqrt(5)*[9+4*sqrt(5)]^n, with n>=0. - Paolo P. Lava, Oct 02 2008
From Johannes W. Meijer, Jul 01 2010: (Start)
Limit(a(n+k)/a(k), k=infinity) = A023039(n) + A060645(n)*sqrt(5).
Limit(A023039(n)/a(n), n=infinity) = sqrt(5). (End)
a(n)= fibonacci(6*n)/2. - Gary Detlefs, Apr 02 2012
a(n) = 4*S(n-1, 18), with Chebyshev's S-polynomials. See A049310. S(-1, x)= 0. - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 24 2014

EXAMPLE
|
Given a(1) = 4, a(2) = 72 we have, for instance, a(4) = 18*a(3) - a(2) = 18*{18*a(2) - a(1)} - a(2), i.e., a(4) = 323*a(2) - 18*a(1) = 323*72 - 18*4 = 23184.
