Formula

a(n)= S(n, 291)=U(n, 291/2)= S(2*n+1, sqrt(293))/sqrt(293) 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)=291*a(n-1)-a(n-2), n >= 1; a(0)=1, a(1)=291; a(-1):=0.

a(n)=(ap^(n+1) - am^(n+1))/(ap-am) with ap := (291+17*sqrt(293))/2 and am := (291-17*sqrt(293))/2 = 1/ap.

G.f.: 1/(1-291*x+x^2).
