Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 60th year, we have over 367,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
The identity (58*n^2-1)^2 - (841*n^2-29)*(2*n)^2 = 1 can be written as A158668(n)^2 - a(n)*A005843(n)^2 = 1.

FORMULA
G.f.: 29*x*(-28-31*x+x^2)/(x-1)^3.
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3).
From Amiram Eldar, Mar 20 2023: (Start)
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = (1 - cot(Pi/sqrt(29))*Pi/sqrt(29))/58.
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = (cosec(Pi/sqrt(29))*Pi/sqrt(29) - 1)/58. (End)
