Comments

By Gaussian integers, we mean complex numbers of the form a + bi, where both a and b are integers in Z, i = sqrt(-1). Thus the quadratic integer ring under consideration here is Z[i].

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..16.

Formula

a(n) +(2*n+3)*(n-2)*a(n-1) +n*(n+1)*(n^2-4*n+8)*a(n-2) -2*(n^2-4*n+8)*(n^2-4*n+5)*a(n-3)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Feb 08 2014

Example

For n = 2, we have (1 + i)(1 + 2i)(2 + i)(2 + 2i) which gives -20 + 0i, so a(2) = -20.

Mathematica
