a(n) is defined by the relation A217548(n) + a(n)*sqrt(13)= A(2*n)*2*13^(floor((n+1)/3)/2), where A(n) = sqrt((13-3*sqrt(13))/2)*A(n-1) + (sqrt(13)-3)*A(n-2)/2 - sqrt((13-3*sqrt(13))/26)*A(n-3), with A(-1) = sqrt((13-3*sqrt(13))/2), A(0) = 3, A(1) = sqrt((13-3*sqrt(13))/26).
However the basic sequence A(n) is defined by the relation A(n) = s(1)^(-n) + s(3)^(-n) + s(9)^(-n), where s(j) := 2*sin(2*Pi*j/13). The sequence with respective positive powers is discussed in A216508 (see sequence Y(n) in Comments to A216508).
The numbers of other Berndt-type sequences for the argument 2*Pi/13 in Crossrefs are given.

EXAMPLE
We have A(1) = A(-1) = sqrt((13-3*sqrt(13))/2), A(2) = (7-sqrt(13))/2, A(3) = (2*sqrt(13)-3)*sqrt((13-3*sqrt(13))/26), A(4) = (21-5*sqrt(13))/2, A(5) = ((13*sqrt(13)-37)/2)*sqrt((13-3*sqrt(13))/26), 2*sqrt(13)*A(6) = -295 + 85*sqrt(13), and 2*sqrt(13)*(A(6) - 4*A(4)) + 2*A(2) = -28. Furthermore it can be verified that -a(5)/13 - a(4) - a(3) = A217548(5)/13 + A217548(4) + A217548(3) = -11.
