Formula

a(n)= S(n, 531)=U(n, 531/2)= S(2*n+1, sqrt(533))/sqrt(533) with S(n, x)=U(n, x/2) Chebyshev's polynomials of the second kind, A049310. S(-1, x)= 0 = U(-1, x).

a(n)=531*a(n-1)-a(n-2), n >= 1; a(0)=1, a(1)=531; a(-1):=0.

a(n)=(ap^(n+1) - am^(n+1))/(ap-am) with ap := (531+23*sqrt(533))/2 and am := (531-23*sqrt(533))/2 = 1/ap.

G.f.: 1/(1-531*x+x^2).
