Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 60th year, we have over 367,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
a(n) is equal to the rational part (with respect of the field Q(sqrt(13))) of the product sqrt(2*(13 + 3*sqrt(13)))*X(2*n-1)/13, where X(n) = sqrt((13-3*sqrt(13))/2)*X(n-1) + sqrt(13)*X(n-2) - sqrt((13+3*sqrt(13))/2)*X(n-3), with X(0)=3, X(1)=sqrt((13-3*sqrt(13))/2), and X(2)=-(13+sqrt(13))/2.
The sequence X(n) is defined in almost the same way as sequence Y(n) from the comments to A161905. The only difference is in the initial condition X(2) = -Y(2).

FORMULA
G.f.: -x^2*(26*x^4-84*x^3+57*x^2-17*x+2) / (13*x^6-91*x^5+182*x^4-156*x^3+65*x^2-13*x+1). - Colin Barker, Jun 01 2013
EXAMPLE
We have a(3)-5*a(2)=a(4)-5a(3)=1, a(5)-5*a(4)=5, and 19000 + a(8) = a(4) + 2*a(3) - 2*a(2).
