FORMULA
a(n) = A132596(n-1)+1.
a(n+1) = [(sqrt(3)-sqrt(2))^n +(sqrt(3)+ sqrt(2))^n]^2 / 4.
From Colin Barker, Oct 02 2015: (Start)
a(n) = 11*a(n-1) - 11*a(n-2) + a(n-3) for n>3.
G.f.: -x*(3*x^2-8*x+1) / ((x-1)*(x^2-10*x+1)).
(End)
6*a(n)*(a(n)-1) = [A122653(n-1)]^2. - Jean-Luc Manguin, Jun 02 2020
EXAMPLE
a(2+1) = [5-sqrt(24)+5+sqrt(24)]^2/4 = 100/4 = 25.
