Comments

The identity (42*n^2 - 1)^2 - (441*n^2 - 21)*(2*n)^2 = 1 can be written as A158626(n)^2 - a(n)*A005843(n)^2 = 1.

Formula

From Vincenzo Librandi, Feb 12 2012: (Start)

G.f.: -21*x*(20 + 23*x - x^2)/(x-1)^3.

a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3). (End)

From Amiram Eldar, Mar 02 2023: (Start)

Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = (1 - cot(Pi/sqrt(21))*Pi/sqrt(21))/42.

Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = (cosec(Pi/sqrt(21))*Pi/sqrt(21) - 1)/42. (End)
