Comments

Previous name was: Solutions a(n) to (r(n)-2)*(r(n)-3) = 6*a(n)*(a(n)-1), where r(n) = A180483(n).

A combinatorial interpretation is provided in A180483.

Formula

G.f.: (1+x-8*x^2+x^3+x^4) / ( (1-x)*(1-10*x^2+x^4) ). - R. J. Mathar, Feb 05 2011

Explicit formulas: r=sqrt(6), s=5+2*r, t=5-2*r.

a(2*n) = (12 + (6 + r)*s^n + (6 - r)*t^n)/24.

a(2*n+1) = (12 + (18 + 7*r)*s^n + (18 - 7*r)*t^n)/24.

a(n) = 11*a(n-2) - 11*a(n-4) + a(n-6).

a(n) = +a(n-1) +10*a(n-2) -10*a(n-3) -a(n-4) +a(n-5).

a(n) = (b(n) + 3*b(n-1) - 3*b(n-2) - b(n-3) + 1)/2, where b(n) = ((1+(-1)^n)/2)* ChebyshevU(n/2, 5). - G. C. Greubel, Apr 26 2022

Example

For n=3: a(3)=15; b(3)=38; binomial(38,4) = 73815 = binomial(38,2)*binomial(15,2).

Maple

n:=0: for s from 1 to 100 do r:=(sqrt(24*s^2-24*s+1)+5)/2: if (floor(r)=r) then a[n]:=s: b[n]:=r: n:=n+1: end if: end do:
