The identity (24*n^2 + 1)^2 - (144*n^2 + 12) * (2*n)^2 = 1 can be written as A158547(n)^2 - a(n) * A005843(n)^2 = 1.

FORMULA

G.f.: 12*(1 + 10*x + 13*x^2)/(1-x)^3.
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3).
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = (coth(Pi/(2*sqrt(3)))*Pi/(2*sqrt(3)) + 1)/24.
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = (cosech(Pi/(2*sqrt(3)))*Pi/(2*sqrt(3)) + 1)/24. (End)
