FORMULA
a(n) = 28a(n-1) - a(n-2), starting with a(0) = 2 and a(1) = 28. a(n) = (14+sqrt(195))^n + (14-sqrt(195))^n. (a(n))^2 =a(2n)+2.
G.f.: (2-28*x)/(1-28*x+x^2). - Philippe Deléham, Nov 02 2008
EXAMPLE
a(4) = 611522 = 28a(3) - a(2) = 28*21868 - 782 =(14+sqrt(195))^4 + (14-sqrt(195))^4 =611521.999998364 + 0.000001635 =611522.
