FORMULA
a(n) = ((sqrt(2)+1)^(2*n+1) - (sqrt(2)-1)^(2*n+1) - 2*(-1)^n)/16.
a(n) = 5*a(n-1) + 5*a(n-2) - a(n-3). - Mohamed Bouhamida, Sep 02 2006; corrected by Antonio Alberto Olivares, Mar 29 2008
a(n) = (-1/8)*(-1)^n + (( sqrt(2)+1)/16)*(3+2*sqrt(2))^n + ((-sqrt(2)+1)/16)*(3-2*sqrt(2))^n. - Antonio Alberto Olivares, Mar 30 2008
sqrt(a(n) - a(n-1)) = A000129(n). - Antonio Alberto Olivares, Mar 30 2008
O.g.f.: x/((1+x)(1-6*x+x^2)). - R. J. Mathar, May 18 2008
a(n) = A041011(n)*A041011(n+1). - R. K. Guy, May 18 2008
From Mohamed Bouhamida, Aug 30 2008: (Start)
a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - a(n-2) - (-1)^n.
a(n) = 7*(a(n-1) - a(n-2)) + a(n-3) - 2*(-1)^n. (End)
In general, for n>k+1, a(n+k) = A003499(k+1)*a(n-1) - a(n-k-2) - (-1)^n A000129(k+1)^2. - Charlie Marion, Jan 04 2012
For n>0, a(2n-1)*a(2n+1) = oblong(a(2n)); a(2n)*a(2n+2) = oblong(a(2n+1)-1). - Charlie Marion, Jan 09 2012
a(n) = A046729(n)/4. - Wolfdieter Lang, Mar 07 2012
a(n) = sum of squares of first n Pell numbers A000129 (A079291). - N. J. A. Sloane, Jun 18 2012
a(n) = (A002315(n) - (-1)^n)/8. - Adam Mohamed, Sep 05 2024
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 2*(sqrt(2)-1) (A163960). - Amiram Eldar, Dec 02 2024
