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 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
A211988(n) + a(n)*sqrt(13) = A(2*n+1)*13^((1 + floor(n/3))/2)*sqrt(2*(13 + 3*sqrt(13))/13), where A(n) is defined below.
The sequence A(n) from the name of 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).
It could be deduced that 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, and A(1) = sqrt((13-3*sqrt(13))/2).
The numbers of other Berndt-type sequences for the argument 2*Pi/13 in crossrefs are given.

EXAMPLE
Let us put b(n) = A211988(n) + a(n)*sqrt(13). Then we get b(0) = 2*sqrt(13), b(1) = -6 + 4*sqrt(13), b(2) = -37 + 13*sqrt(13), b(3) = 676 - 176*sqrt(13), b(4) = 2882 - 786*sqrt(13), b(5) = 12502 - 3452*sqrt(13).
