Formula

G.f.: (1 + x)/(1 - 2*201*x + x^2).

a(n) = S(n, 2*201) + S(n-1, 2*201) = S(2*n, 2*sqrt(101)), with Chebyshev polynomials of the 2nd kind. See A049310 for the triangle of S(n, x)= U(n, x/2) coefficients. S(-1, x) := 0 =: U(-1, x).

a(n) = ((-1)^n)*T(2*n+1, 10*i)/(10*i) with the imaginary unit i and Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind. See the T-triangle A053120.

a(n) = 402*a(n-1) - a(n-2) for n > 1, a(0)=1, a(1)=403. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 18 2008

a(n) = (1/10)*sinh((2*n + 1)*arcsinh(10)). - Bruno Berselli, Apr 03 2018

Let h = (10 + sqrt(101))^(2*n+1) then a(n) = (h-1/h)/20 and a(n) = floor(h/20). - Peter Luschny, Apr 05 2018

Example

(x,y) = (10*1=10;1), (4030=10*403;401), (1620050=10*162005;161201), ... give the positive integer solutions to x^2 - 101*y^2 =-1.
