COMMENTS
Lim_{n-> infinity} a(n)/a(n+1) = 0.0475115... = 2/(21+sqrt(445)) = (sqrt(445)-21)/2.
Lim_{n-> infinity} a(n+1)/a(n) = 21.0475115... = (21+sqrt(445))/2 = 2/(sqrt(445)-21).
a(2) = 443 divides a(14) = 3348193836570088403. Does this relate to the sequence being the (21,1)-weighted Fibonacci sequence with seed (2,21) and both 14 and 21 being multiples of 7? Primes in this sequence include: a(0) = 2, a(2) = 443, a(4) = 196247 Semiprimes in this sequence include: a(8) = 38512885007 = 97967 * 393121, a(14) = 3348193836570088403 = 443 * 7557999631083721. - Jonathan Vos Post, Feb 10 2005

FORMULA
a(n) = 21*a(n-1) + a(n-2), starting with a(0) = 2 and a(1) = 21.
a(n) = ((21+sqrt(445))/2)^n + ((21-sqrt(445))/2)^n.
(a(n))^2 = a(2n) - 2 if n=1, 3, 5... .
(a(n))^2 = a(2n) + 2 if n=2, 4, 6... .
G.f.: (2-21*x)/(1-21*x-x^2). - Philippe Deléham, Nov 02 2008
a(n) = Lucas(n, 21) = 2*(-i)^n * ChebyshevT(n, 21*i/2). - G. C. Greubel, Dec 30 2019
EXAMPLE
a(4) = 21*a(3) + a(2) = 21*9324 + 443 = ((21+sqrt(445))/2)^4 + ((21-sqrt(445))/2)^4 = 196246.9999949043 + 0.0000050956 = 196247.
