COMMENTS
Hypotenuse (z) of Pythagorean triples (x,y,z) with |2x-y|=1.
x(n) := 2*A049629(n) and y(n) := a(n), n >= 0, give all positive solutions of the Pell equation x^2 - 5*y^2 = -1. See the Gregory V. Richardson formula, where his x is the y here and A075796(n+1) = x(n). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jun 20 2013
Positive numbers n such that 5*n^2 - 1 is a square (A075796(n+1)^2). - Gregory V. Richardson, Oct 13 2002

FORMULA
G.f.: (1-x)/(1-18*x+x^2).
a(n) = 18*a(n-1) - a(n-2), n > 1, a(0)=1, a(1)=17.
a(n) = A134495(n)/2 = A001076(2n+1).
a(n+1) = 9*a(n) + 4*sqrt(5*a(n)^2-1). - Richard Choulet, Aug 30 2007, Dec 28 2007
a(n) = ((2+sqrt(5))^(2*n+1) - (2-sqrt(5))^(2*n+1))/(2*sqrt(5)). - Dean Hickerson, Dec 09 2002
a(n) ~ (1/10)*sqrt(5)*(sqrt(5) + 2)^(2*n+1). - Joe Keane (jgk(AT)jgk.org), May 15 2002
Limit_{n->infinity} a(n)/a(n-1) = 8*phi + 5 = 9 + 4*sqrt(5). - Gregory V. Richardson, Oct 13 2002
Let q(n, x) = Sum_{i=0..n} x^(n-i)*binomial(2*n-i, i); then a(n) = q(n, 16). - Benoit Cloitre, Dec 06 2002
a(n) = 19*a(n-1)- 19*a(n-2) + a(n-3); f(x) = (sqrt(5)/10)*((2+sqrt(5))*(9+4*sqrt(5))^(x-1) - (2-sqrt(5))*(9-4*sqrt(5))^(x-1)). - Antonio Alberto Olivares, May 15 2008
a(n) = 17*a(n-1) + 17*a(n-2) - a(n-3). - Antonio Alberto Olivares, Jun 19 2008
a(n) = b(n+1) - b(n), n >= 0, with b(n) := F(6*n)/F(6) = A049660(n). First differences. See the o.g.f.s. - Wolfdieter Lang, 2012
a(n) = S(n,18) - S(n-1,18) with the Chebyshev S-polynomials (A049310). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jun 20 2013
Sum_{n >= 1} 1/( a(n) - 1/a(n) ) = 1/4^2. Compare with A001519 and A097843. - Peter Bala, Nov 29 2013
a(n) = 9*a(n-1) + 8*A049629(n-1), n >= 1, a(0) = 1. This is just the rewritten Chebyshev S(n, 18) recurrence. - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 26 2014
From Peter Bala, Mar 23 2015: (Start)
a(n) = ( Fibonacci(6*n + 6 - 2*k) - Fibonacci(6*n + 2*k) )/( Fibonacci(6 - 2*k) - Fibonacci(2*k) ), for k an arbitrary integer.
a(n) = ( Fibonacci(6*n + 6 - 2*k - 1) + Fibonacci(6*n + 2*k + 1) )/( Fibonacci(6 - 2*k - 1) + Fibonacci(2*k + 1) ), for k an arbitrary integer.
The aerated sequence (b(n)) n>=1 = [1, 0, 17, 0, 305, 0, 5473, 0, ...] is a fourth-order linear divisibility sequence; that is, if n | m then b(n) | b(m). It is the case P1 = 0, P2 = -20, Q = 1 of the 3-parameter family of divisibility sequences found by Williams and Guy. See A100047 for the connection with Chebyshev polynomials. (End)
a(n) = sqrt(2 + (9-4*sqrt(5))^(1+2*n) + (9+4*sqrt(5))^(1+2*n))/(2*sqrt(5)). - Gerry Martens, Jun 04 2015
