%N Unsigned member r=-6 of the family of Chebyshev sequences S_r(n) defined in A092184.

%C ((-1)^(n+1))*a(n) = S_{-6}(n), n>=0, defined in A092184.

%C This sequence is a divisibility sequence, i.e., a(n) divides a(m) whenever n divides m. Case P1 = 6, P2 = -16, Q = 1 of the 3 parameter family of 4th-order linear divisibility sequences found by Williams and Guy. - _Peter Bala_, Mar 25 2014

%F a(n) = (T(n, 4)-(-1)^n)/5, with Chebyshev's polynomials of the first kind evaluated at x=4: T(n, 4)=A001091(n)=((4+sqrt(15))^n + (4-sqrt(15))^n)/2.

%F a(n) = 8*a(n-1) - a(n-2) + 2*(-1)^(n+1), n>=2, a(0)=0, a(1)=1.

%F a(n) = 7*a(n-1) + 7*a(n-2) - a(n-3), n>=3, a(0)=0, a(1)=1, a(2)=6.

%F G.f.: x*(1-x)/((1+x)*(1-8*x+x^2)) = x*(1-x)/(1-7*x-7*x^2+x^3) (from the Stephan link, see A092184).

%F From _Peter Bala_, Mar 25 2014: (Start)

%F a(2*n) = 6*A001090(n)^2; a(2*n+1) = A070997(n)^2.

%F a(n) = |u(n)|^2, where {u(n)} is the Lucas sequence in the quadratic integer ring Z[sqrt(-6)] defined by the recurrence u(0) = 0, u(1) = 1, u(n) = sqrt(-6)*u(n-1) - u(n-2) for n >= 2.

%F Equivalently, a(n) = U(n-1,sqrt(-6)/2)*U(n-1,-sqrt(-6)/2), where U(n,x) denotes the Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind.

%F a(n) = 1/10*( (4 + sqrt(15))^n + (4 - sqrt(15))^n - 2*(-1)^n ).

%F a(n) = the bottom left entry of the 2 X 2 matrix T(n, M), where M is the 2 X 2 matrix [0, 4; 1, 3] and T(n,x) denotes the Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind.

%F See the remarks in A100047 for the general connection between Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind and 4th-order linear divisibility sequences. (End)
