%N a(n) = 2*a(n-4) + a(n-8) for n >= 8.

%C Previous name was: a(2n) = a(2n - 4) + a(2n - 3) and a(2n + 1) = 2*a(2n - 4) + a(2n - 3), with a(0) = 2, a(1) = -1, a(2) = 2, a(3) = 1. Alternatively, interleave denominators (A266504) and numerators (A266505) of convergents to sqrt(2).

%C a(2n) gives all x in N | 2*x^2 - 7(-1)^x = y^2. a(2n+1) gives associated y values.

%F a(n) = 2*a(n-4) + a(n-8) for n > 7.

%F G.f.: (-3*x^7 + x^6 - 5*x^5 + 3*x^4 - x^3 - 2*x^2 + x - 2)/(x^8 + 2*x^4 - 1).
