Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (6,-1).

Formula

G.f.: 48*x^2 / (1 - 6*x + x^2).

a(n) = 6*a(n-1) - a(n-2) for n>2.

a(n) = 48*A001109(n-1).

a(n) = 6*sqrt(2)*(-(3 - 2*sqrt(2))^n*(3+2*sqrt(2)) + (3 - 2*sqrt(2))*(3 + 2*sqrt(2))^n).

Example

48 is in the sequence because (x, y) = (6,48) is a solution to y^2 = 72*x^2 - 288.
