%N Lucas and Lehmer numbers with parameters (1 +- sqrt(-7))/2.

%C The sequences A001607, A077020, A107920, A167433, A169998 are all essentially the same except for signs.

%C This is an example of a sequence of Lehmer numbers. In this case, the two parameters, alpha and beta, are (1 +- i*sqrt(7))/2. Bilu, Hanrot, Voutier and Mignotte show that all terms of a Lehmer sequence a(n) have a primitive factor for n > 30. Note that for this sequence, a(30) = 24475 = 5*5*11*89 has no primitive factors. - _T. D. Noe_, Oct 29 2003

%C Row sums of Riordan array (1/(1+2x^2), x/(1+2x^2)). - _Paul Barry_, Sep 10 2005

%C Pisano period lengths: 1, 1, 8, 2, 24, 8, 21, 2, 24, 24, 10, 8, 168, 21, 24, 4, 144, 24, 360, 24, ... - _R. J. Mathar_, Aug 10 2012

%C This is the Lucas Sequence U_n(P, Q) = U_n(1, 2). V_n(1, 2) = A002249(n). - _Raphie Frank_, Dec 25 2013

%C Note that (A002249(n)/2)^2 + 7*(a(n)/2)^2 = 2^n for all n in N. This is a specific case of the Lucas sequence identity (V_n/2)^2 - D*(U_n/2)^2 = Q^n where V_n = (a^n + b^n), U_n = (a^n - b^n)/(a - b), Q = (a*b) = 2 and D = (a - b)^2 = -7; a = (1 + sqrt(-7))/2 and b = (1 - sqrt(-7))/2. - _Raphie Frank_, Nov 26 2015

%C For the special case where |a(n)| = 1, true for n if and only if n is in {1, 2, 3, 5, 13} = {A215795(n) + 1} = {A060728(n) - 2}, then, additionally, by the Lucas sequence identity (U_2n = U_n*V_n), we have (a(2n)/2)^2 + 7*(a(n)/2)^2 = 2^n. - _Raphie Frank_, Nov 26 2015
