Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (0,38,0,-1).

FORMULA

G.f.: 2*x*(1 + x)*(1 + 10*x + x^2) / ((1 + 6*x - x^2)*(1 - 6*x - x^2)).

a(n) = 38*a(n-2) - a(n-4) for n>4.

a(n) = ((3-r)^n + (-3-r)^n*(-3+r) - 3*(-3+r)^n - r*(-3+r)^n + (3+r)^n)/2, where r=sqrt(10).

EXAMPLE

22 is in the sequence because (x, y) = (22, 7) is a solution to x^2 - 10*y^2 = -6.
