%N a(n) = 169*n^2 - 13.

%C The identity (26*n^2 - 1)^2 - (169*n^2 - 13)*(2*n)^2 = 1 can be written as A158551(n)^2 - a(n)*A005843(n)^2 = 1.

%H <a href="/index/Rec#order_03">Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients</a>, signature (3,-3,1).

%F G.f.: 13*x*(-12 - 15*x + x^2)/(x-1)^3.

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

%F From _Amiram Eldar_, Mar 06 2023: (Start)

%F Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = (1 - cot(Pi/sqrt(13))*Pi/sqrt(13))/26.

%F Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = (cosec(Pi/sqrt(13))*Pi/sqrt(13) - 1)/26. (End)
