Bisection (even part) of Chebyshev sequence with Diophantine property.

The odd part is A077234(n) with Diophantine companion A077235(n).

-3*a(n)^2 + b(n)^2 = 13, with the companion sequence b(n)= A077236(n).

a(n)= (6*((2+sqrt(3))^n-(2-sqrt(3))^n)-((2+sqrt(3))^(n-1)-(2-sqrt(3))^(n-1)))/(2*sqrt(3)).

a(n)= 6*S(n-1, 4) - S(n-2, 4) = S(n, 4) + 2*S(n-1, 4), with S(n, x) := U(n, x/2) Chebyshev's polynomials of 2nd kind, A049310. S(-1, x) := 0, S(-2, x) := -1, S(n, 4)= A001353(n+1).

G.f.: (1+2*x)/(1-4*x+x^2).

Conjecture: a(n+1) = A001353(n+2) + 2*A001353(n+1) - Creighton Dement (creighton.k.dement(AT)uni-oldenburg.de), Nov 28 2004. Comment from Vim Wenders (vim(AT)gmx.li), Mar 26 2008: The conjecture is easily verified using a(n) = (6*((2+sqrt(3))^n-(2-sqrt(3))^n)-((2+sqrt(3))^(n-1)-(2-sqrt(3))^(n-1)))/(2*sqrt(3)) and A001353(n)=[(2+sqrt(3))^n-(2-sqrt(3))^n]/(2*sqrt(3)).
