%N G.f. -x*(x-1)*(1+x)/(1-x-8*x^2-x^3+x^4).

%C The member k=8 of a family of sequences starting 0,1,1,k with recurrence a(n) = a(n-1)+k*a(n-2)+a(n-3)-a(n-4).

%C This is the case P1 = 1, P2 = -10, Q = 1 of the 3 parameter family of 4th-order linear divisibility sequences found by Williams and Guy. - _Peter Bala_, Mar 31 2014

%F a(n)= +a(n-1) +8*a(n-2) +a(n-3) -a(n-4).

%F From _Peter Bala_, Mar 31 2014: (Start)

%F a(n) = ( T(n,alpha) - T(n,beta) )/(alpha - beta), where alpha = (1 + sqrt(41))/4 and beta = (1 - sqrt(41))/4 and T(n,x) denotes the Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind.

%F a(n) = the bottom left entry of the 2 X 2 matrix T(n, M), where M is the 2 X 2 matrix [0, 5/2; 1, 1/2].

%F a(n) = U(n-1,i*(1 + sqrt(2))/2)*U(n-1,i*(1 + sqrt(2))/2), where U(n,x) denotes the Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind.

%F See the remarks in A100047 for the general connection between Chebyshev polynomials and 4th-order linear divisibility sequences. (End)
