The identity (12*n^2+1)^2 - (36*n^2+6)*(2*n)^2 = 1 can be written as A158480(n)^2 - a(n)*A005843(n)^2 = 1.

FORMULA
|
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3).
G.f: 6*x*(7+4*x+x^2)/(1-x)^3.
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = (coth(Pi/sqrt(6))*Pi/sqrt(6) - 1)/12.
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = (1 - cosech(Pi/sqrt(6))*Pi/sqrt(6))/12. (End)
