%N First class of all proper positive solutions x1(n) = a(n) of the Pell equation x^2 - 7*y^2 = 9.

%C The corresponding solutions y1(n) are given in A307169.

%C The (generalized) Pell equation x^2 -7*y^2 = 9 has two proper classes of positive solutions (x1(n), y1(n)) and (x2(n), y2(n), for n >= 1, where x2 = A307172, and y2 = A307173.

%C The improper class of nonnegative solutions is given by (xi(n) = 3*X(n), yi(n) = 3*Y(n)), with the nonnegative solutions of the Pell equation X^2 - 7*Y^2 = +1, given by X(n) = A001081(n) and Y(n) = A001080(n), for n >= 0.

%C The proper positive solutions (x1(n), y1(n)) are given in matrix notation by -R(0)*R(2)*Auto(n)*R^{-1}(6)*(1, 0)^T (T for transposed) with the R-matrix R(t) = Matrix([[0, -1],[1, t]]) and its inverse R^{-1}(t) = Matrix([t, 1],[-1, 0]) and the automorphic matrix Auto = Matrix([2, 9],[3, 14]). The matrix power Auto^n can be given in terms of Chebyshev S-polynomials S(n, x=16) from A077412 as Auto^n = Matrix([S(n, 16) - 14*S(n-1, 16), 9*S(n-1, 16)],[3*S(n-1, 16), S(n, 16) - 2*S(n-1, 16)]).

%C This results from the reduced principal binary quadratic form F_p = [1, 4, -3] of the non-reduced Pell form FPell = [1, 0, -7], and the primitive representative parallel form FPara1 = [9, 8, 1] for discriminant 4*7 = 28 and the representation of 9. These forms are then connected via equivalence transformations using R(t) matrices.

%F a(n) = 4*S(n, 16) - 53*S(n-1, 16), for n >= 1, with S(n, 16) = A077412(n).
