FORMULA
a(n)= 2*(T(n, 15/2)-(-1)^n)/17, with twice Chebyshev's polynomials of the first kind evaluated at x=15/2: 2*T(n, 15/2)=A078365(n)=((15+sqrt(221))^n + (15-sqrt(221))^n)/2^n.
a(n)= 15*a(n-1)-a(n-2)+2*(-1)^(n+1), n>=2, a(0)=0, a(1)=1.
a(n)= 14*a(n-1) + 14*a(n-2) - a(n-3), n>=3, a(0)=0, a(1)=1, a(2)=13.
G.f.: x*(1-x)/((1+x)*(1-15*x+x^2)) = x*(1-x)/(1-14*x-14*x^2+x^3) (from the Stephan link, see A092184).
