%N a(n) = 12*a(n-1) - a(n-2).

%C From _Wolfdieter Lang_, Nov 08 2002: (Start)

%C Chebyshev's polynomials T(n,x) evaluated at x=6.

%C a(n+1) give all (nontrivial, integer) solutions of Pell equation a(n+1)^2 - 35*b(n)^2 = +1 with b(n)=A004191(n), n>=0. (End)

%C a(35+70k)-1 and a(35+70k)+1 are consecutive odd powerful numbers. The first pair is 23101441813552306872262673994181386126 +- 1. See A076445. - _T. D. Noe_, May 04 2006

%C Numbers n such that 35*(n^2-1) is a square. - _Vincenzo Librandi_, Nov 19 2010

%C Except for the first term, positive values of x (or y) satisfying x^2 - 12xy + y^2 + 35 = 0. - _Colin Barker_, Feb 09 2014

%F a(n) = T(n, 6) = (S(n, 12)-S(n-2, 12))/2 with S(n, x) := U(n, x/2) and T(n), resp. U(n, x), are Chebyshev's polynomials of the first, resp. second, kind. See A053120 and A049310. S(-2, x) := -1, S(-1, x) := 0, S(n, 12)=A004191(n).

%F a(n) = ((6+sqrt(35))^n + (6-sqrt(35))^n)/2.

%F G.f.: (1-6*x)/(1-12*x+x^2).

%F a(n)*a(n+3) - a(n+1)*a(n+2) = 420. - _Ralf Stephan_, Jun 06 2005
