COMMENTS
a(n) gives the general (positive integer) solution of the Pell equation a^2 - 165*b^2 = +4 with companion sequence b(n)=A078362(n-1), n>=1.
Except for the first term, positive values of x (or y) satisfying x^2 - 13xy + y^2 + 165 = 0. - Colin Barker, Feb 26 2014

FORMULA
a(n) = 13*a(n-1)-a(n-2), n >= 1; a(-1)=13, a(0)=2.
a(n) = S(n, 13) - S(n-2, 13) = 2*T(n, 13/2) with S(n, x) := U(n, x/2), S(-1, x) := 0, S(-2, x) := -1. S(n, 13)=A078362(n). U-, resp. T-, are Chebyshev's polynomials of the second, resp. first, case. See A049310 and A053120.
G.f.: (2-13*x)/(1-13*x+x^2).
a(n) = ap^n + am^n, with ap := (13+sqrt(165))/2 and am := (13-sqrt(165))/2.
a(n) = sqrt(4 + 165*A078362(n-1)^2), n>=1, (Pell equation d=165, +4).
E.g.f.: 2*exp(13*x/2)*cosh(sqrt(165)*x/2). - Stefano Spezia, Sep 24 2022
