%N Denominators of continued fraction convergents to sqrt(50).

%C For positive n, a(n) equals the permanent of the n X n tridiagonal matrix with 14's along the main diagonal, and 1's along the superdiagonal and the subdiagonal. - _John M. Campbell_, Jul 08 2011

%C a(n) equals the number of words of length n on alphabet {0,1,...,14} avoiding runs of zeros of odd lengths. - _Milan Janjic_, Jan 28 2015

%C From _Michael A. Allen_, Apr 30 2023: (Start)

%C Also called the 14-metallonacci sequence; the g.f. 1/(1-k*x-x^2) gives the k-metallonacci sequence.

%C a(n) is the number of tilings of an n-board (a board with dimensions n X 1) using unit squares and dominoes (with dimensions 2 X 1) if there are 14 kinds of squares available. (End)

%F a(n) = round((7+5*sqrt(2))*a(n-1)). - _Vladeta Jovovic_, Jun 15 2003

%F From _Paul Barry_, Feb 06 2004: (Start)

%F a(n) = A000129(3n+3)/5.

%F a(n) = (1+sqrt(2))^(3*n)*(1/2+7*sqrt(2)/20)+(1-sqrt(2))^(3*n)*(1/2-7*sqrt(2)/20).

%F a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n} Sum_{j=0..n} (n!/(i!j!(n-i-j)!)*A000129(2n-i)/5. (End)

%F a(n) = F(n, 14), the n-th Fibonacci polynomial evaluated at x=14. - _T. D. Noe_, Jan 19 2006

%F From _Philippe Deléham_, Nov 03 2008: (Start)

%F a(n) = 14*a(n-1) + a(n-2); a(0)=1, a(1)=14.

%F G.f.: 1/(1-14*x-x^2). (End)

%F a(n) = ((7+5*sqrt(2))^(n+1) - (7-5*sqrt(2))^(n+1))/(10*sqrt(2)). - _Gerry Martens_, Jul 11 2015
