COMMENTS
The identity (70*n^2 - 1)^2 - (1225*n^2 - 35)*(2*n)^2 = 1 can be written as A158736(n)^2 - a(n)*A005843(n)^2 = 1.

FORMULA
G.f.: 35*x*(-34 - 37*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(35))*Pi/sqrt(35))/70.
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = (cosec(Pi/sqrt(35))*Pi/sqrt(35) - 1)/70. (End)
