Formula

From Philippe Deléham, Nov 14 2008: (Start)

a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - 6*a(n-2), a(0)=1, a(1)=1.

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A098158(n,k)*(-5)^(n-k). (End)

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A124182(n,k)*(-6)^(n-k). - Philippe Deléham, Nov 15 2008

G.f.: G(0)/2, where G(k) = 1 + 1/(1 - x*(5*k+1)/(x*(5*k+6) + 1/G(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, May 26 2013

a(n) = real part of the quaternion (1 + i + 2*j)^n. - Peter Bala, Mar 29 2015
