Comments

The identity (80*n^2 + 1)^2 - (1600*n^2 + 40)*(2*n)^2 = 1 can be written as a(n)^2 - A158775(n)*A005843(n)^2 = 1.

Formula

G.f.: -(1 + 78*x + 81*x^2)/(x-1)^3.

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

From Amiram Eldar, Mar 24 2023: (Start)

Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = (coth(Pi/(4*sqrt(5)))*Pi/(4*sqrt(5)) + 1)/2.

Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = (cosech(Pi/(4*sqrt(5)))*Pi/(4*sqrt(5)) + 1)/2. (End)
