COMMENTS
The identity (76*n^2 - 1)^2 - (1444*n^2 - 38)*(2*n)^2 = 1 can be written as a(n)^2 - A158764(n)*A005843(n)^2 = 1.

FORMULA
G.f.: x*(-75 - 78*x + x^2)/(x-1)^3.
a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3).
From Amiram Eldar, Mar 23 2023: (Start)
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = (1 - cot(Pi/(2*sqrt(19)))*Pi/(2*sqrt(19)))/2.
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = (cosec(Pi/(2*sqrt(19)))*Pi/(2*sqrt(19)) - 1)/2. (End)
