Index entries for sequences related to Chebyshev polynomials.

Formula

a(n) = ((-1)^n)*S(2*n, 7*i) with the imaginary unit i and the S(n, x) = U(n, x/2) Chebyshev polynomials.

G.f.: (1-x)/(1 - 51*x + x^2).

a(n) = S(n, 51) - S(n-1, 51) = T(2*n+1, sqrt(53)/2)/(sqrt(53)/2), with S(n, x) = U(n, x/2) Chebyshev's polynomials of the second kind, A049310. S(-1, x)= 0 = U(-1, x) and T(n, x) Chebyshev's polynomials of the first kind, A053120.

a(n) = 51*a(n-1) - a(n-2), a(0)=1, a(1)=50. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 18 2008
