A099370 Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind, T(n,x), evaluated at x=33. 5

%N Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind, T(n,x), evaluated at x=33.

%C Used in A099369.

%C Solutions of the Pell equation x^2 - 17y^2 = 1 (x values). After initial term this sequence bisects A041024. See 8*A097316(n-1) with A097316(-1) = 0 for corresponding y values. a(n+1)/a(n) apparently converges to (4+sqrt(17))^2. (See related comments in A088317, which this sequence also bisects.). - _Rick L. Shepherd_, Jul 31 2006

%C From a(n) = T(n, 33) (see the formula section) and the de Moivre-Binet formula for T(n,x=33) follows a(n+1)/a(n) = 33 + 8*sqrt(17), which is the conjectured value (4+sqrt(17))^2 given in the previous comment by Rick L. Shepherd. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jun 28 2013

%F a(n) = 66*a(n-1) - a(n-2), a(-1):= 33, a(0)=1.

%F a(n) = T(n, 33) = (S(n, 66)-S(n-2, 66))/2 = S(n, 66)-33*S(n-1, 66) with T(n, x), resp. S(n, x), Chebyshev polynomials of the first, resp.second, kind. See A053120 and A049310. S(n, 66)=A097316(n).

%F a(n) = ((33+8*sqrt(17))^n + (33-8*sqrt(17))^n)/2.

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} ((-1)^k)*(n/(2*(n-k)))*binomial(n-k, k)*(2*33)^(n-2*k), for n>=1, a(0)=1.

%F G.f.: (1-33*x)/(1-66*x+x^2).

%e a(1)^2 - 17*A121470(1)^2 = 33^2 - 17*8^2 = 1089 - 1088 = 1.
