y' = a(n) and x = b(n) := A226699(n) are the nonnegative solutions of x^2 - 61*(3*5*13*y')^2 = +4. This is x^2 - D*y'^2 = +4 with D = 61*(3*5*13)^2 = 61*195^2 = 2319525.

FORMULA
a(n) = S(n-1,1523), n >= 0, with the Chebyshev S-polynomials (A049310), with S(-1, 0) = 0.
O.g.f. x/(1- 1523*x + x^2).
a(n) = 1523*a(n-1) - a(n-2), n >= 1, a(-1) = -1, a(0) = 0.
