The identity (48*n^2 - 1)^2 - (576*n^2 - 24)*(2*n)^2 = 1 can be written as A065532(n)^2 - a(n)*A005843(n)^2 = 1.

FORMULA
|
G.f.: 24*x*(-23 - 26*x + x^2)/(x-1)^3.
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3).
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = (1 - cot(Pi/(2*sqrt(6)))*Pi/(2*sqrt(6)))/48.
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = (cosec(Pi/(2*sqrt(6)))*Pi/(2*sqrt(6)) - 1)/48. (End)
