Comments

The identity (68*n^2 - 1)^2 - (1156*n^2 - 34)*(2*n)^2 = 1 can be written as A158730(n)^2 - a(n)*A005843(n)^2 = 1.

Formula

G.f.: 34*x*(-33 - 36*x + x^2)/(x-1)^3.

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

From Amiram Eldar, Mar 22 2023: (Start)

Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = (1 - cot(Pi/sqrt(34))*Pi/sqrt(34))/68.

Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = (cosec(Pi/sqrt(34))*Pi/sqrt(34) - 1)/68. (End)

From Elmo R. Oliveira, Jan 16 2025: (Start)

E.g.f.: 34*(exp(x)*(34*x^2 + 34*x - 1) + 1).

a(n) = 34*A158588(n). (End)
