The identity (16*n^2 - 1)^2 - (64*n^2 - 8)*(2*n)^2 = 1 can be written as A141759(n)^2 - a(n)*A005843(n)^2 = 1. - Vincenzo Librandi, Feb 09 2012

FORMULA
From Vincenzo Librandi, Feb 09 2012: (Start)
G.f.: -8*x*(7 + 10*x - x^2)/(x - 1)^3.
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3). (End)
From Amiram Eldar, Mar 05 2023: (Start)
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = (1 - cot(Pi/(2*sqrt(2)))*Pi/(2*sqrt(2)))/16.
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = (cosec(Pi/(2*sqrt(2)))*Pi/(2*sqrt(2)) - 1)/16. (End)
